Mother's Day 2010

Well, by now everyone knows that Stampin' Up! has renovated their color line. As a result, a bunch of colors are going the way of the dinosaur! With that in mind, I want to use up some of those colors. So, here's what I did for my Mother's Day cards this year.
CARD STOCK: Cameo Coral, Ruby Red, Blush Blossom, Old Olive, Whisper White. INK: Ruby Red, Old Olive. STAMPS: Fine Lace, Fifth Avenue Floral, All-Year Cheer II, Fall Leaves (by Judi-Kins). OTHER: Nestabilities, Blender Pen. NOTE: I stamped the rose image with Ruby Red on Blush Blossom. I picked up a little Ruby Red ink with an old blender pen dipped in water, and ran it over the line art to give it a softer water-colored look. You may have to click on the picture to see what I'm talking about.

Life Happens!

Until last week I hadn't done any stamping to speak of since my last post! How dreadful! The demands of family, home and job have prevented me. Because I have been so busy, I wasn't even able to send Easter cards this year. A big disappointment to me, since I consider it the most glorious of all holidays! I did, however make a couple of things in the last week, and promise to post them soon. Be watching for a set of 12 cards I made to give as a gift AND a sample of the 25 Mother's Day cards I just stuck in the mail yesterday. Until then, happy stamping!
