Hi again. I needed a couple of sympathy cards last week, and while I have cards that I could have used for that purpose, I thought they were a little too cutesy.
I'm not much on making simple cards, because the ones I've made just seem unfinished with the one layer. After giving it some thought I decided to turn to someone I consider the master of such cards; Gina K. Designs, of Stamp TV. After searching through some of her recent posts, I found I liked this card. (This link will take you to her video.)
It’s easy to make, and I really like the results. I did these cards assembly-line style. As you can see I used green and blue distress inks. The stamp is by Stampability, and the ribbons are from Michaels' dollar bin; and of course you can use any sentiment you want.
I’m entering these in the following challenges:
Karen’s Doodles – spring
Lollipop Crafts – spring
Love to Create Challenge – friends
Die Cuttin Divas – garden
Shelly’s Images – anything
Craft Us Crazy – flowers
Wags ‘n Whiskers – anything
Craft Room Challenge – ink it, no digis
Crafty Boots – no girls allowed
Bunny Zoe – ribbon or twine
Thank you for stopping by again to see my work. If you'll leave me a comment, I'll try to get by and check your's, too.
Hugs,

No, you’re not imagining anything; I’m really posting a new project finally. I’ve just had issues, which I know many can understand.
I was invited to be a guest designer over at Paper Creations Ink this week for their challenge number 23, “April Showers Bring May Flowers”.
Their sponsor this challenge is Tiffany Doodles, and this is my use of the image. These flowers are special they bring mouth-watering fruit, too. It has been colored a couple of times and some pop-dotted on top of some, and others are just in the background. Some are even behind this “small French lattice” by Cheery Lynn Designs.
Here’s a close-up of the strawberries:
