MIM Card 1
I love it when cards come together quickly and still look good.  I think these two cards only took me 1-1/2 hours and didn't have to redo anything.  It's so nice to be in my craft room and not working on getting ready for Christmas.  Love Christmas but glad when it is over for another year.
The first one will be entered PTI's MIM.

Less Is More #257 Neutral Colors

Still need some more Sympathy cards for my stash so thought this challenge was perfect for one.

 
Less Is More Using Neutrals. 

PTI's Boutique Borders Sympathy and Embellished Elegance in Classic Kraft on Fine Linen cardstock

Fun In My Craft Room



A fun day in my craft room.  I was all out of Sympathy cards so decided to make a couple.  The first card is one I had stated for another challenge and decided it wasn't right for the challenge, so finally finished it.
This first is stamped and the other two are watercolored with Koi watercolors.

Make It Monday #235 Adding Color to Stamped Images with Colored Pencils and Gamsol

Oh my, it has been so long since I have made a card let alone a flower card.  Here is a technique by Laurie from PTI's MIM Click to view.
My clear Wink of Stalla put too much ink on these flowers so they look a little cloudy.  I really had a hard time getting a good picture.  Sorry about that.  It looks much better in real life.  

PTI's Vintage Linens on Vintage on Fine Linen Cardstock.  
MFT Linen BG stamp inked with Fine Linen
Terracotta Tile and Summer Sunrise and Simply Chartreuse for flowers then added some shading with Prisma color pencils and blending solution to blend.
Gold Delicata for the Sentiment. 
Used the gold Uniball pen that I got from my BFF for Christmas to outline the card.
