It seems like I've needed a lot of sympathy or encouragement cards lately.
My first card today is for a new friend with a cancer diagnosis.
For this week's Make it Monday at Papertrey Ink's blog, Stephanie Gold shared her technique of creating a mixed background texture. I used a Woodblock Prints stencil to create a row of Distress Oxide pistachio green flourishes before adding a modified Modern Cross die cut. The panel was directly glued to a mint julep A2 side-folding card. Several die cut blooms dusted with wink of stella and a banner were arranged at the upper corner. A Pen & Ink sentiment sending "paper hugs" was stamped inside.

Two more encouragement cards were quickly created with card stock and inks in shades of yellow and a PTI Graceful Greeting sentiment stamped in a warm gray.
Lovely cards, Vikki! I especially love your MIM card--great choices! Now I'm adding that cover plate to my wishlist!
ReplyDeletePretty card and I love the Cover Plate you used on this! The soft colors are very soothing. I'm sorry about your new friend and I'm sure this card will help brighten their day just a bit.
ReplyDeleteLovely cards! I'm sorry, though, for the reason the first one needs to be sent. She'll be so pleased to receive this card.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, Vikki! Love the CAS Thinking of You cards but what a sweet textured background and floral arrangement for your new friend. So sorry to read of her diagnosis but pray she doesn’t suffer and can ward off the pain. Praying for your strength to help get through this challenge.
ReplyDeleteim so sorry to hear about you friend, sadly there does seem to be a lot of people getting sick this year. I am sure your card will make her smile.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.
Have a great day :)
Three beautiful cards, Vikki! Each one is sure to comfort and give hope to your friends in their hour of need.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and stunning
