Big Hugs

Hello!  Today's make and share was inspired by a Gina K. Designs You Tube Video.  I love watching card making videos; I get lots of inspiration in addition to learning some new techniques and being reminded of old techniques as well.  

This card features an embossed and inked background panel made to look like a window with several panes.  The look was achieved by laying down washi tape, inking over it and adhering a large Sentiment Die cut to the center.

I used Wilted Violet, Squeezed Lemonade and Lucky Clover Distress Oxide Inks to color the panel and for a final touch, applied Wink of Stella over the Die Cut Sentiment.  Fairly quick and simple card, the hardest part was waiting for the ink to dry!

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Sending Hugs

Hello and Happy Monday!  It's a beautiful day here in Florida; breezy and sunny.  I hope it's nice where you are.  Today is a quick post sharing a Gerda Steiner Digi Stamp named Sending Hugs

My card measures the standard A2 and I colored the image with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.  I used designer papers from a DCWV 6"x 6" paper pad titled Playful Pets Mat Stack.  I picked it up at Tuesday Morning last week - the first day they opened back up after the pandemic closing.  It felt good to get out and do a bit of shopping!

I added some Baker's Twine and Nuvo Drops to finish the card.  It's a darling image and I'm sending the card to a swap buddy.  We all need a big hug after what we've been through.  Things are slowly getting back on track and it feels good.

Until next time. Happy Crafting!
