Pastel Thanks So Much

I really wish I could remember the creative person who inspired the design of this card.  I stamped the images with black ink and then outlined and colored in with my white gel pen.  Once the white gel ink was dry, I colored with my Stampin' Pastels to give it a soft look. I liked her version better because the gel pen didn't cover over the black ink where it did on mine.

This card was created with the following Stampin' Up! Supplies:

• Stamp Sets:
• Simply Soft
• Sincere Salutations
• Punches:
• Extra Large Oval Punch
• Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack
• Big Shot:
• Designer Frames Embossing Folder
• Framelits Labels Collection
• Adorning Accents Embossing Folder
• Misc:
• Stampin' Pastels
• White Gel Pen
• Q-TIps for applying Pastels
• Victoria Crochet Trim
• Halfback Pearls
• Colors Used:

You Inspire Me

Good morning Stampers!

This card means a lot to me as it was created for a very special lady in my life.  I have adopted her as my Mother, but technically she is an Aunt from my Daddy's marriage.

This beautiful person has fought cancer four different times, yet she continues to fight her battle as if it were the cold or the flu.  If I were to be given the news that I had cancer... well, let's just suffice to say that I would handle it no where near with the dignity, grace, and confidence this woman has demonstrated.  Every time I wallow and feel sorry for myself when I am hurting really bad, I make myself think of her.  She has had 4 different occasions to throw in the towel and accept defeat.  She hasn't, and I know she won't.  So how dare I boo hoo over pain.  I am left feeling ashamed and embarrassed, but more importantly, I am proud of her and so blessed that God put her in my life since I was a little girl.

She should be an inspiration to people everywhere, but she is a private person and only let's in those she is close to.  This is why I am telling her story for her.

This card was created with the following supplies:

• Stamps:  
• Simply Soft
• Kindness Matters
• Perfect Words
• Punches:
• Modern Label
• Eyelet Border
• Big Shot:

• Movers & Shapers Modern Label Die
• Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder
• Sizzlits Lots of Tags Label 2
• Lacey Circle Die by Spell Binders Nestabilities
• Colors Used:
• Calypso Coral
• Island Indigo
• Very Vanilla
• Cajun Craze
• Misc Items:
• Stampin' Write Markers (Filling color on bush)
• Ribbon
• Dimentionals
• Daubers

Thank you so much for stopping by.  It means an awful lot to me!

Hooked on Simply Soft

Greetings!

I really love this stamp set!  Simply Soft is a Hostess set.  There are so many different designs and options you can go.  

Good Luck, Crimped Style

Here is another Crimped Diamond card I created.  I really like the design the crimper creates depending on how you fold your cardstock before running it through the crimper. I did something a little different with this one though.  I took my ink pads and ran them along the raised grooves, which left ink only on the high area's. 

Thanks for stopping by!
