Unfortunately, I've gotten hit at the very end of this cold and flu season with the third bug in a row. Hopefully though, the third times the charm and when this bug vacates, I can stay healthy for awhile!! Fortunately, this not so welcome houseguest of a virus is starting to pack its bags in preparation for what I'm hoping is a timely departure and I was able to craft a simple little card!
I somewhat recently bought myself a Scor-Pal for my birthday, but have not used it for anything other than scoring cards to fold. While I bought it to make pretty boxes, my "houseguest" just was not going to give in and say, "Adios!" or "Au revoir!" quite yet, so I settled for trying something new (to me) and using it to make some decorative scoring marks. The effect is subtle, but I like it. For me though, the best part about this card, is simply having the energy to make it! YAY!!!
Supplies:
Cardstock: Plum Pudding, Raspberry Fizz, Stampers Select White - PTI
Ink: Raspberry Fizz - PTI
Stamps: Life - PTI
Bling: Bling it On - Lisa Bearnson
Other: Spica Glitter Pens (pink & purple) - Copic (inside of card)
Sorry you have been sick so much! I have been pretty healthy this year (knock on wood) but last year I was sick for 3 months and was in the hospital 3 times because of bronchitis, mono, strep, etc. So I know your pain!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great CAS card. I like your two scored lines and the row of embellishments.
I have been scanning through your other cards and I really like your style. I will be bookmarking your blog and checking back again.
Hey Karen, sorry to hear you've been under the weather. Hope your uninvited guest takes a hike soon.
ReplyDeleteI love your card, and great job with the scorpal. I've actually been thinking of getting one myself.

What a lovely card! Love the bling dots and scored lines!
ReplyDeleteHope you're on the mend now...being sick is no fun!
ReplyDeleteI love your card and how you used the scoring as a decorative touch--I'm hoping to get a Scorpal in the near future.
yay you! Scor pal for your birthday. I have been talking myself out of that for a while. I hope I get to see yours in person soon :) I love your card and admire your ability to let your white space BE...I have a hard time with that and this is great inspiration! Can't wait to see what else you come up with using your scor pal and the Life set.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card! I like the clean lines and bright colors. The Scor-Pal looks cool, thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your comments on my blog! They are so sweet! I´ve just talked to the insurence guy, and they are prepearing to rip out my floor.... Great stuff!!!!! NOT
ReplyDeleteI must say your cards are like a breath of fresh air. I´ve got nothing against Magnolia and such...but sometimes less is more!!!
I also love the butterflies you punched out. I´ve got a box full of stuff I´ve cut out of magazines. I haven´t used any of it yet, but some day I will!!!
