Make It Monday # 291
Emboss Resist Shadow Sentiments
Papertrey's Ashley presented the latest Make It Monday challenge this week.
After stamping "Friend" with black ink, Versamark ink and moving it for the shadow
effect, I blended Distress inks over the sentiment, added the floral frame, mounted
the panel on a foam rectangle which was glued to a light yellow A2 card.
Card #1
Stamp: Bitty Bouquets
Die: Floribunda Frame
Card #2
Earlier in the week I made a card using an older set, Note Niblets.
I can't remember when I last took this out of its case. When I stamped
the "Cheer" with brown Versafine ink I didn't clean the stamp off
completely and it left a light tan shadow. It works for the MIM
challenge but card #1 fits Ashley's criteria of a white shadow better.
Stamps: Note Niblets
Die: Note Niblets, SSS Stitched Rectangles
We had an unexpected trip to Kenya the first part of July to help with a dental clinic and construction of a new elementary school campus. While there we were invited to visit three different Masai groups. It was an incredible experience and on one occasion our men each received a blanket and walking stick from the Masai men and the ladies a beaded necklace from the Masai women. I'll share a few photos of my third African adventure below and more in the future.

a video of her briskly walking with this heavy load.
