Today's card reflects my feelings right now...colorful and bright and very, very happy. I usually see my mom three or four times a year, but it's rare to see my sister's family more than once a year. This visit is just the first of two vacations planned this year with them. This week, we celebrated my BIL's birthday, and he also has been promoted to full professor at the United States Naval Academy. Yay, Tom!
And now, the card.
The color blocks were created by repeatedly stamping a banner stamp in bright and happy pigment inks and trimming down the result. It seemed a little boring at first, so I cut the narrow strip. LOVE the results!
Supplies
stamps: Papertrey, unknown banner
ink: Memento Luxe, Fresh Ink
paper: Papertrey
accessories; none
BRILLIANT - love those blocks of colour

Love how doing that little strip adds so much interest to this card. I, too, thought of the paint sample strips-because one of my crafting buddies is making a bunch of cards with old strips at the moment. Hmmmmm, I just might have to pull out my paint samples :)
ReplyDeleteI love how you think out of the box, Susan! That narrow strip makes it perfection. Congrats to Tom! I know the whole family is proud of him.
ReplyDeleteThis design nicely pops!
ReplyDeleteWhat a striking card, Susan! This is one of my favorites. Nicely done!
