Monochromatic

It's Group of Seven Cardmakers for June with Monochromatic as the theme. Our ladies have posted some great cards for you on the website and I hope you can stop in.

On the first card I stamped in dark brown ink using an Altenew stamp over a card panel. Then I cut the same image with the matching die and dark brown cardstock and added it over the panel. I embossed the Hello in white embossing powder over the same brown cardstock and cut it out with a Poppy Stamps die. The panel was added to a dark brown card base.

The second card used a Paper Rose die that I sponged over with two blue inks and added to a panel. I added a Mama Elephant scalloped frame sponged in the same two color of blues. The thanks die is a sizzix die and done in the same two inks, making it darker at the bottom.

Should I call you or should we resolve this in 200 texts?






Be kind to one another.

An exciting time

for my grandson. He turns twenty one this month, the age all teenagers look forward to. I thought since he is in the Marines I would make a camouflage card. Now I can't make those funny little shapes camo has so I tried to make it with colors. There are quite a few different looks and colors but I think this is close to what he wears. Just a simple card since he is a guy!

In other news, I have been working around the mess in my house and trying to tidy up other rooms. It takes me so long to do anything, then I have to rest so the days aren't long enough to do everything. I try to do one big thing a day. Some days getting up is that thing! Signed contract to get started with kitchen but won't be until at least second week of this month.

My favorite thing about humans may be our ability to drench potatoes in mayo and call it salad with a straight face.






Be kind to one another.
