Still lots of products in my sale pages.
I was about to put away the Valentine I made for next year. It hit me that it didn't look finished, so I fixed it! Here's the picture I posted a few days ago.
It's smaller than A2, so all I had to do was use a black A2 mat. Now it looks ready to mail & this picture has more accurate color.
Now for my new cards, starting with an entry for the Uniko 8th BD Celebration. I love the beautifully modern poinsettia in the Uniko Season of Beauty set. It can also be a beautiful flower for any season.
I stamped the bold image in Brilliance Pearlescent Lavender & the outline image (purposely not lined up) in Versafine Clair Morning Mist & Delicata Silvery Shimmer. The flower centers & the sentiment from Altenew Floral Frame were stamped in Morning Mist. I just stamped the sentiment 3 times to make it a bit darker. Finished off with gray & lavender splatters. I'm also entering SSS Wednesday & Time Out.
I love silhouette images, so I used my TCP gc to get Simple Blooms which is no longer available. The TPC Tuesday Challenge is to use stencils.
Finally is my entry for SSS Flickr, SSS Wednesday & Flickr Love Handmade Cards. I used DI tattered rose & peeled paint with the SSS Bouquet of Roses Stencil. Next I spread white Gina K Glitz Glitter Gel--such gorgeous sparkle!
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
