My kids were here for the weekend which was great, but I wanted to spend sometime playing with my Distress Oxide Inks.  So I made a couple of cards with the Freshly Made Sketches for this week.  I masked the sentiment area with a banner die.  Then inked the Oxide Ink on, spritzed it with water and with the blotting of the paper towel it left an interesting pattern on the paper and I liked the texture.  I heat setted it, inked the sentiment and stamps.  Then I added a gem and sequins.  I kept it as a simple Valentine card.

Abundant Blessings

My Mother-in-law, surprisingly passed away yesterday morning at an Assisted Living Facility.  My husband passed away 3 1/2 years ago and now his Mother passed away.  She was a very independent woman the reason that she wasn't able to live alone anymore was that her vision was so bad that she was blind.  She had attempted several eye surgeries which were not successful.  My sister in law received the call that she took her pills this am and when they went to check on her later they found her so it appeared that she had a major heart attack or stroke.  So I wanted to send some sympathy cards to my step-daughter and step-son that live far away and I'm sure will not be able to attend their Grandmother's funeral.  So when I made the cards from this wonderful set that I just got from Unity, I also made a birthday card.  I made the card according to a video that I saw at Unity.

I was so fortunate to win $25 credit from MFT Camp Create so I was so excited and had to order this wonderful Halloween stamp set that just came.  I also got some more Distress Oxide inks.  I did some masking to make the background with a full moon and a stencil with a star background.  I heat embossed the white sentiment.  I also layered the pumpkins and frog for a 3-D effect.

Never too grown up

I almost forgot to post the last card I had for the new release for Imagine That Digistamp which is unfortunate because this is my favorite card.  It is using, Raymond's Reindeer Friend, and has a sentiment from TLC.  For this card I embossed a cloud sky background and using a die for the snowhill.  I used a wonderful product to mask the snow from Molotow.
