Eesh... I've become, like, the worst blogger lately. So sorry to all my new followers who must think I barely ever update this blog! I'll do better! :D
I'm trying to post this quickly since I should have done this one yesterday... A new sketch is up at The Outlawz! It looks like this:
And this is what I made: (Sorry, not edited yet...)
This card was made for my bf's family; a very special member of the family recently passed away. Her favorite color was purple, and I went with that because I didn't want the card to feel dreary. The image is from A Day for Daisies, and the paper is from Cosmo Cricket's Pixie-liscious line. I used another one of the pages for the inside.
The poem is from a spreadsheet full of sentiments that's available on Splitcoast Stampers.
Okay, that's about it for this one. Oh, if you have a dollar or two (or twenty), please consider sponsoring my bf in an upcoming walk for March of Dimes. If you do, let him know you're one of my buddies! ;D Thanks!
Challenges (This feels wrong, but I miss challenges...): Papertake Weekly - Dimension, My Partner in Crafting Crime - Layer it Up, Dream Valley Challenges - Things with Wings, Stampin' Sisters in Christ - #84 Mark 15:17 (I'm not sure if I have enough purple, but I always love reading the challenges here!), Bearly Mine Challenges - #8 Inside Out

Trina, this card is gorgeous. I love that image. Did you pop it up or did you do the shading with your markers? Either way, it looks fab. And the sentiment inside is perfect.
ReplyDeleteOn a different topic, thanks for letting me know that I won at SSW. I'm so goofy; I enter challenges and sometimes take a few days to check the blog to see who won. I get caught up in other stuff.
This is a lovely card- the colours and design are beautiful, soothing and gentle but definitely not dreary :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us at My Partner In Crafting Crime this time!! :)
hugs, Rachel x
Trina, this a very precious card! You did a great job on it, especially the coloring. Don't fret the challenge thing. I think this is quite appropriate for the SSIC, and just think of how many bloggers are now thinking of your bf & family at this time of sorrow!
ReplyDeleteThis is a really lovely card! Soft and pretty. Just right for SSIC. :-) Thanks so much for joining us at Stampin Sisters in Christ.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I love this color combo.
