Hello

Making a sympathy card always makes you sad and that is why I like to make them a little cheerful.

Do you often wonder if you need products from many companies, well this card sure makes you feel justified. This card had so many mistakes and I am glad I stuck with it.

I started with cutting all the dies, The flowers are from MFT- gerberra daisies. The frame is from Spell binders. I used Gina K design inks to color all of them on a 80 pound paper. I colored the frame with two different blue inks, light and then dark on the edges. Then I colored the flowers in orange and yellow, two shades of each. One was gina K and one was Distress inks. The greens were done the same way- they are a die from MFT too. I did the coloring while I was waiting for my son to be done at the gym in the cafe. I had a couple of little girls watch, it was sweet.

I cam home and started working on the insides, this is where it all went south. I started with adding rajni chawla crystals, while loved it on the petals it was not good in the middle. So I removed it from the middle and added a glob of nuvo drops. Did not like that, then I added glossy accents and by then it looked dirty. Needless to say I removed that. Then I thought well let me add the inside that the die provides and cut that in brown. It looked good but needed something more. When I was done assembling the card I added glossy accents, left it alone and liked how it looked in the morning. The background was done using Honey bee Lotus stamp embossed in Ranger gold embossing powder. I stamped the sentiment on a brown piece of paper and white heat embossed it. I cut it without measuring but luckily it fit the exact size. Added some sequins. If you look closely the top flower where there is a sequins had not embossed fully, so I added lines with a versamark pen and heat embossed, it is thicker than the other lines. The frames have some yellow spots, sometimes if you stick with it, it all comes together nicely. For a final touch I added some sequins. I am glad I did not give up on it. Some supplies I shop from a local store in Livonia. I have added link to that.

Thank you for visiting and for your sweet comments.

Hello everyone

Here is the third part of 2017 cards.

I do keep my instagram account active, the handle is zehrarosebest.

The first set of cards:

I love the rose from mft stamps. it is a good layering rose and a beauty by itself, I used mft inks and added rajnichawla crystals to make it shine. This is an mft sentiment. I have added glossy accents all over. The next card i used an acrylic block and added different distress oxide inks over it, sprayed water and stamped that. Once it was dry I used my MISTI to stamp the sentiment as it took at least three attempts to make it dark and crisp. The rose soap has rose clay and is so soothing. It is made with olive, palm and coconut oil. It has shea butter, castor oil and sweet almond oil to fatten them.

This card was so much fun to do. The card was stamped with an mft background stamp with versa mark ink and then embossed it with ranger gold embossing powder. I love the shirt die as it is a perfect focal point. I stamped an old mft flourish and added a birthday stamp, all using mft electric red ink. and the inside has the flourish

This set is colorful and I love this stamps. The roses are from mft, the lily is from Altenew. I used both mft and altenew inks here. On the roses I embossed the sentiment and on the lily I just stamped over the lily. I also added stickles and sequins for the final touch. The lavender soap has lavender buds and smells heavenly. The essential oils and the ingredients helps soothe the skin.

The set above was cool to do. The first was stenciled with tim holtz stencil with distress oxide inks and then the sentiment was stamped. The butterflies are from mft and then stickles were spread on it. For the second card i stamped the hero arts flower, masked it and added leaves. After i colored it with zig clean color pens I added a sentiment. I added glossy accents on the center of the flower and popped a ladybug on it with glossy accents on the top. I added a simple sentiment to it.

The lip balms are awesome. They have cocoa butter, castor oil, sweet almond oil and beeswax. The bubblegum flavor is loved by many.

The set below was quick cards to do. The first one was all mft dies layered over one another and then the sentiment stamped just before i adhered the leaves. I added a few gems. for the second card it was all embossed snowflakes from mft. And then embossed with versa mark ink and different embossing powders. i added a four layer sentiment. I cute it from three white card stock pieces and one on the top in pink.

The lip balms are Pina colada.

The above cards were from mft stamps. The first one is just layering of stamps and mixed leaves from another stamp. I added a ribbon and the sentiment at the bottom. I added some rajnichawla crystals. For the second card i masked the center and then stamped the flowers on both sides. I colored them with gel pens. I added glossy accents and a twine for the final touch.

The soaps are 1 oz. They come in 1oz, 4oz and 1 pound size.

The last card for this post was for a birthday.

This was just stenciling with distress inks. I added a sentiment and some small stars and confetti in black ink. I added some novo drops since this was for a male.
