More from last year's card crafting.
BFF-J sent a package with an awesome haul from Kettler Capitals Iceplex (the Caps' practice rink) giftshop, for which, of course, I had to express my gratitude:
White base; pink cardstock stamped with either pink ink or watermark ink (I forget which); white cardstock stamped with an iris bouquet from Hero Arts circa 1989 in black and colored with Prismacolor pencils; the background stamp stamped again with a light pink on white cardstock then cut into "ribbon" with a punch of the same basic design as the stamp; the pink cardstock and the white central panel were trimmed with the "squiggle" blade and the edges of the white panel were smeared with pink.And the innard:
The iris bouquet inked with light pink and stamped repeatedly to form a background for the plain ol' black "Thank You" block which doesn't have a source on it.Another random card, stamped on scrapbooking paper with black ink. The stamp is one of the Visual Image Printery wizards:
One of the blue Colorbox Pigment inks with clear embossing powder on white cardstock, trimmed with the "Deckle" blade, stuck to a piece of scrapbooking paper, stuck to the blue card base. The Fist Full o' Candles stamp is from Stamp Oasis.
The innard was stamped onto the same blue scrapbooking paper used on the front with stamps from River City Rubberworks ("Rat's Ass") and the "happy birthday" stamp from a cheapy collection of common sentiments from one of the big-box craft stores.Only one of the Valentine's Day cards I made last year survived, as BFF-J realized too late that I was on a roll and apparently wasn't aware that handmade cards are works of art not meant to be tossed aside like those mass-produced store-bought things.
The innard: The "Missing U" stamp is from Hero Arts and the Beethoven signature is from Stampington and Co. The pink ink is likely Colorbox Pigment. Dunno where the dark smudge came from.
Stitchy friend Terri also had a birthday:
