I have 2 cards for our final Five for Friday today, both of them in the colors of the season.
supplies: cream, green, and Schoolhouse Red card stock, striped paper from Authentique Retro Christmas, Rejoice cling stamp, Zig markers to color, Martha Stewart Doily Lace punch, clear Wink of Stella pen, tiny gold pearls
This stamp could be used for many situations, but I chose to make a Christmas card this time - we certainly have so many things to rejoice for at this time of year! I simply colored it in reds and greens, with a bit of yellow for the stars, and added a bit of twinkle with a Wink of Stella clear brush. The panel was then added to this seasonal stripe along with some punched lace. The trio of roses on each side of the card was separately stamped, cut out, and lifted above the base, adding some little gold pearls. This is a big stamp, so my card turned out to be 6" X 5 1/2".
My final card is for Tammy and uses one of my favorites of her designs - she and I share a love of hearts and flowers, so I thought this card would serve to let her know how fortunate I felt being a part of her journey......that tiny sentiment at the bottom says it all. So charming!

ReplyDeleteTwo beauties, Lin, but especially love the thanks heart!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love them both Lin! Every little detail on the first is just marvelous and that's such a pretty heart on the second!
ReplyDeleteLin, it has been such a privilege to be on this team with you. Your inspired use of Tammy's products has taught me so much. You are the master of clean and simple design, and I am truly in awe of your talents. I hope we can keep in touch and I still hope we can meet in real life someday. These cards, as always, are so perfectly composed and utterly gorgeous! Merry Christmas, my friend!
ReplyDeleteI'm sad to see Tammy's team breaking up; I got so much inspiration from all of their ideas. I will always follow you though, Lin, as I love your style of CAS and all the little touches you add like the tiny buttons on the heart card and the MS lace punch on the first one. Both of these are just lovely!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards Lin - and I too love Tammy's stamps, so it must be hard for you not to be able to be part of her DT team
ReplyDeleteChristmas blessings to you and yours
