The gold foil edged flowers were cut from a piece of Paper Studio paper and the greeting is from an old Stampin' Up stamp set called "Healing Hugs". The background papers are probably 20 years old or so from Close to my Heart called "Buttercup". The center stripe is Wild Berry Shimmer Trim.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjORVWAIm51PGhKAIAbSdS6M2cPUMaqSCTufw1rjORL3pEi-QSs1bzL57fhrq1pTZ6TB0Nv-Om-wg-utpMTiSF6NpqOzweYe7R2kUNe6T032F9ypzrcOtHGNO4SxKKcE8DCpdCs21OIH3y7dOZs0WT7IHx-85O7vOt7Z-3GS0L6GVBW2Y6fPziVh-rDo1Ep/s1132/DSC_0767.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1132" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjORVWAIm51PGhKAIAbSdS6M2cPUMaqSCTufw1rjORL3pEi-QSs1bzL57fhrq1pTZ6TB0Nv-Om-wg-utpMTiSF6NpqOzweYe7R2kUNe6T032F9ypzrcOtHGNO4SxKKcE8DCpdCs21OIH3y7dOZs0WT7IHx-85O7vOt7Z-3GS0L6GVBW2Y6fPziVh-rDo1Ep/w452-h640/DSC_0767.JPG" width="452" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Here is the sketch that inspired my card layout:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjtP5fa-mk5zCl0vm7QFKunViOr9ufXW98Ajo9Bd7iEn23b1hWGB0oMq1pml6SkElPH3s5faO450XMyDnluVP1LtLHj1b7SrpxaskxS3odbwQZT3QubhLOv88jNFbf_MuPUuXRtUtT6DtAlJKa6piC3VnTher6ODIqRfVFt6G7iuNBMKaxHhnGNyM9t1GKP" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="399" data-original-width="316" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjtP5fa-mk5zCl0vm7QFKunViOr9ufXW98Ajo9Bd7iEn23b1hWGB0oMq1pml6SkElPH3s5faO450XMyDnluVP1LtLHj1b7SrpxaskxS3odbwQZT3QubhLOv88jNFbf_MuPUuXRtUtT6DtAlJKa6piC3VnTher6ODIqRfVFt6G7iuNBMKaxHhnGNyM9t1GKP=w317-h400" width="317" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18pt;">I’m

post! This week our sketch features a striped top border with 2 slim horizontal stripes, an assortment of banners and a large floral element spread over the top. This is just a starting point and you can interpret this any way you see fit. My card features Close to my Heart Mix-in Paper from July--August 2023 and a floral die (unknown source). The flowers were colored with various Shimmer Brushes from Close to my Heart. I left off a sentiment so it can be used at a later time to meet the occasion.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJZrKOJ5yIs4-EBAg4nYs4Zs6_A1mrqwcM_DP_-flvW-S0XYJaQgmh58hy4lBDpzL55bEkFCCVrapTnOd-W0blSjEuDBKjekmUN-Y_8hl3eG-BpFBbbyqgF5aoFC0Z27dyiA-XiJGY-_nj9PL0ZOwU2uAojtmvoawKYQSnSPgpzzVEmy62Z_NlvJe5lOkj/s958/DSC_0744.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="958" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJZrKOJ5yIs4-EBAg4nYs4Zs6_A1mrqwcM_DP_-flvW-S0XYJaQgmh58hy4lBDpzL55bEkFCCVrapTnOd-W0blSjEuDBKjekmUN-Y_8hl3eG-BpFBbbyqgF5aoFC0Z27dyiA-XiJGY-_nj9PL0ZOwU2uAojtmvoawKYQSnSPgpzzVEmy62Z_NlvJe5lOkj/w534-h640/DSC_0744.JPG" width="534" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">Here

post! This week our sketch features a vertical layout with a trio of squares set on point with a striped base layer. I needed to make a masculine "Get Well" card which inspired my card creation. The paper is "<a href="https://marieflayer.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=17832" target="_blank">Hello Darlin</a>'" and the stamps are from "Kiss it Better" and "Get Well Soon" retired from Close to my Heart.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirGd8vq5eKLTDCRFn2EgDnru0zB_0pQVRfguZLa-PQQYqfjAcpJpgX4sktIC4PAvHlmjg92GZiu33p3_-HNCNAB8ZsBSFWvGmTwN6ygkNXks8Jj7a8flhZKS4dd-mwOQnRuI5m8qQIO2QXrD2D4mBm6HLZi55bjdxo2-0r4w7nTGqe51nttrgn5DsjKWYK/s979/DSC_0707.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="979" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirGd8vq5eKLTDCRFn2EgDnru0zB_0pQVRfguZLa-PQQYqfjAcpJpgX4sktIC4PAvHlmjg92GZiu33p3_-HNCNAB8ZsBSFWvGmTwN6ygkNXks8Jj7a8flhZKS4dd-mwOQnRuI5m8qQIO2QXrD2D4mBm6HLZi55bjdxo2-0r4w7nTGqe51nttrgn5DsjKWYK/w522-h640/DSC_0707.JPG" width="522" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">Here

post! This week our sketch features a vertical layout with 3 stripes beneath the rectangular panel in the center. My cards were inspired by wanting to use a new confetti paper I found in clearance at Hobby Lobby. I wasn't sure if I liked the navy blue trim or turquoise trim so I made 2 cards. The pink layer is pink acetate which I also picked up on clearance years ago. The stamped elements were from a retired Close to my Heart stamp and thin cut die set called "Under the Weather".</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOX1r9x8CrL8Hfmn5-Zq3SqT8bwaf2WUy0fZgQBHVl-G6SY79YZCrRk5HkC0TdYc-DFMK5MUHqTvBhVraTCJKLn3htsTYzSuEGSHy6dXq3clNHuFciIcQkzdw6oHf7YEGbfE6SX3Na-TkgHerh6Lr1Pv70tjh7poQ8kPVBCoBsGVfeLBmZScKSBfsKyfCp/s800/DSC_0714.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="584" data-original-width="800" height="293" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOX1r9x8CrL8Hfmn5-Zq3SqT8bwaf2WUy0fZgQBHVl-G6SY79YZCrRk5HkC0TdYc-DFMK5MUHqTvBhVraTCJKLn3htsTYzSuEGSHy6dXq3clNHuFciIcQkzdw6oHf7YEGbfE6SX3Na-TkgHerh6Lr1Pv70tjh7poQ8kPVBCoBsGVfeLBmZScKSBfsKyfCp/w400-h293/DSC_0714.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Here are closeup photos.

The first card was embossed with "Cobalt Tapestry" from Personal Stamp Exchange--can you see the tiny flecks of gold in it? The second card was stamped with Versamark, then "Uptown" ink by Catherine Pooler and then sprinkled with Polysparkle Clear Tinsel Embossing Powder (retired from Close to my Heart.)</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC3rJfv7tn8oNz0ryw7a4I3qPKoeIY2eZaSN590sUoz3BlwqrfkxOw649MrCwbtgIr0WeDPwxwuwl7Yv1flpK9_S0odKuBZHhjxhikrxFC_1orDO4QM318tahidFHMI8t0vj-rqj9OHsGWGLqYBe_cFQoyMzc5RgM2os2F8om3xamVz0Ef08H8koFMrKDs/s800/DSC_0669.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="616" data-original-width="800" height="492" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC3rJfv7tn8oNz0ryw7a4I3qPKoeIY2eZaSN590sUoz3BlwqrfkxOw649MrCwbtgIr0WeDPwxwuwl7Yv1flpK9_S0odKuBZHhjxhikrxFC_1orDO4QM318tahidFHMI8t0vj-rqj9OHsGWGLqYBe_cFQoyMzc5RgM2os2F8om3xamVz0Ef08H8koFMrKDs/w640-h492/DSC_0669.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXTJ1ImEGfJ_qr5sR7pROqAMGsLg7yzfJeIT2pUnrqxSHLiPObDed6ItmGAHl2Vq02kwxN6jVZGaXs-tb4VSI_on3lYgqexEBRoCLQ66yTcr1yaTmaRMdKiiz87OSNlQw7EAa_ra19Uv8UHAXnqZlxVGgooxsGJLHrrbLT2dUEO5gCk53M1lft8e5hTskn/s800/DSC_0675.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="629" data-original-width="800" height="504" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXTJ1ImEGfJ_qr5sR7pROqAMGsLg7yzfJeIT2pUnrqxSHLiPObDed6ItmGAHl2Vq02kwxN6jVZGaXs-tb4VSI_on3lYgqexEBRoCLQ66yTcr1yaTmaRMdKiiz87OSNlQw7EAa_ra19Uv8UHAXnqZlxVGgooxsGJLHrrbLT2dUEO5gCk53M1lft8e5hTskn/w640-h504/DSC_0675.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><p><span style="font-size: large;">Which card do you like better?</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Here is the fabulous <a href="https://trystampinontuesday.blogspot.com/2023/11/challenge-633.html" target="_blank">Try Stampin' on Tuesday</a> sketch that inspired my card layout:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEij8zotAYbacxiBcdnWks3mE1jlBySGBTfNSbsPOjY9Osv6lPtyeCMEA0CPp7h5RapPE1OZM6wcN8hWmg5WbamXE85Sv-fssaZeaUJy4mvGC5_oa8nyvLWKPwVoW5EO4HufrM0-KpmUdjUCYN9RPp3qySXgRYra9nU7iZ27FQxnkjt5JJ4JFN4lcNuK90o9" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="306" data-original-width="640" height="191" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEij8zotAYbacxiBcdnWks3mE1jlBySGBTfNSbsPOjY9Osv6lPtyeCMEA0CPp7h5RapPE1OZM6wcN8hWmg5WbamXE85Sv-fssaZeaUJy4mvGC5_oa8nyvLWKPwVoW5EO4HufrM0-KpmUdjUCYN9RPp3qySXgRYra9nU7iZ27FQxnkjt5JJ4JFN4lcNuK90o9=w400-h191" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 18.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I’m

post! This week our sketch features a vertical layout with a trio of squares and a sentiment strip. My card features stickers and paper from a special promotion from Close to my Heart called "<a href="https://marieflayer.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=18093" target="_blank">Memory Lane</a>". In order to reduce bulk I used a blue marker to edge each of the squares. A <a href="https://marieflayer.closetomyheart.com/retail/Product.aspx?ItemID=9403" target="_blank">Clear Shimmer Brush </a>was used to embellish the stickers. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6ShdHNSnd5xmEXixBLDtzVtB3ZtpWSnYVNtOl5V1MHefcpDy0bfWYwP746zZIB5HJJum-xi1QV-xWixqcCJ7OcSSWjJuHNuuuV0lxat0PrxXg9EafIvnX2w7N92Y4Cs-ebNTSDOou2sZykKzSdxxKTEzikEHMC7c25Djzcp1V2SukKghhI4hJ9KgUcNfG/s800/DSC_0652.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="651" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6ShdHNSnd5xmEXixBLDtzVtB3ZtpWSnYVNtOl5V1MHefcpDy0bfWYwP746zZIB5HJJum-xi1QV-xWixqcCJ7OcSSWjJuHNuuuV0lxat0PrxXg9EafIvnX2w7N92Y4Cs-ebNTSDOou2sZykKzSdxxKTEzikEHMC7c25Djzcp1V2SukKghhI4hJ9KgUcNfG/w520-h640/DSC_0652.JPG" width="520" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 18pt; line-height: 115%;">Here

post! This week our sketch features a double matted vertical panel with a top corner sentiment, large floral display and a ribbon bow. My card's floral diecut is from Simon Says Stamp called "Black Eyed Susan" which was colored with Twinkling H2O paints (Mallard Green and Celestial Sun). The flower centers were colored with an Espreso Shimmer Brush. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH7qtkLI210vg746BABFL4Ga2-zs_GGlhWGx9ae3PjOOuQGogEEVql0DCwfqmW_0KIHKnp6fTX4gGBJ8FA0Gkbnir4N78o70bJqQCPzsyf37yaZfrxl7lLQUqsiFTiQg2dNqsq930E8HtA-hTSHyj_y1cdhLwqNeS_FCj7QCJoVNm_N9VMyzT8BTaBrJS3/s800/DSC_0264.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="679" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH7qtkLI210vg746BABFL4Ga2-zs_GGlhWGx9ae3PjOOuQGogEEVql0DCwfqmW_0KIHKnp6fTX4gGBJ8FA0Gkbnir4N78o70bJqQCPzsyf37yaZfrxl7lLQUqsiFTiQg2dNqsq930E8HtA-hTSHyj_y1cdhLwqNeS_FCj7QCJoVNm_N9VMyzT8BTaBrJS3/w544-h640/DSC_0264.JPG" width="544" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><p></p>
