Textured Notes

Today's card is one I took as a swap to the Sister's retreat and also to On Stage.  I just changed up the colors and the stamp set from a card I posted earlier.  You can see that card here.

I was aiming for a sunset background and while I did not achieve that I am pleased with the way this one turned out.  You can't see it in the photo but it is actually a Z-card which adds a little more interest.  I started by die-cutting an arch out of a piece of Basic White cardstock the same size as the top layer of the card.  I used this piece as a mask for sponging in the colors in the arch.  I used Pumpkin Pie first along the outside of the arch and then filled in the center with Daffodil Delight and Peach Pie. The stamping was all done with Momento Black.  Add some embellishments and you are done. 

I made 35 of these cards for the Sister's retreat and another 27 for On Stage.  They were pretty easy to do from my recliner and did not have a ton of die-cutting on them.

On Stage was so much fun and  am brimming with ideas I want to try.  I had promised myself I would slow down some when I got home and that is going to e very hard to do now.  We were very fortunate that we had no trouble getting home yesterday.  Our flight left at 5:45 in the morning . . . before the storms hit North Caroline.  We had a very rough flight to Detroit but other than that our flights were on time and I was home before noon.  My recliner and heating pad were calling my name so that is where I stayed all afternoon figuring out my pre-pre-order from the new Annual Idea Book and Catalog!!

Today is going to be a catch up day to get things back in order in the house and also an appointment this afternoon for my neck and shoulder.  Other than that it will be mostly a rest day.

Every day is a gift . . . make the most of the gift you have been given today!!

Happy Stamping!!
