My sentiments exactly butterfly


Hi ladies! It has been so long since I have posted but I wanted to show you the card I finally made. It felt so good to stamp again. I absolutely love red/black and white together it makes such an elegant card. The stamp used in this card is My Sentiments Exactly! but there is no name of the manufacturer. So weird I know that I purchased it at Michael's about a year ago but there is no name? But anyway here is the card that I put together. Card base is black, then layered in red, then black then the patterned paper. I then layered the square white, then black then red and ended up stamping my image on the red paper. I haven't done that before and I wanted to try it and this is how it turned out. I also added a nice satin ribbon in the background. I stamped the words inside the card bottom right "Forever on my mind, forever in my heart" which came with my card maker kit last delivery. I think this card would be more of a Valentine or maybe even an Anniversary card. Life is going well. I blog about my cancer journey at www.byebyehooters.blogspot.com you are welcome to go visit. Cancer has sort of taken over my life and I have to get back into the groove of things. My stamping room is dusty because I haven't been downstairs until now to make a card. I have been some what depressed and haven't even been interested in making anything! But I am glad I did. I am purchasing some stamps from a friend of mine which are breast cancer stamps and I am eager to make a card with one of them. I will post as soon as I get it together. I have missed the world of card making and I am back. Be ready because here comes some creations. I think my goal is to try and make cards and I also have a cricuit machine that can die cut out boxes to decorate and I want to make one for my Aunt in Texas who has been so grateful to me these last few months. Well that is all I have for now. I will post more this weekend when I get finished with some inspiring cards! TTYL
