Thinking Of You

Hello and happy Sunday! Whew, it has been a long week. As most of you know I work two jobs and have been dating a guy who also works two jobs so it's really hard to coordinate crafting around work, dating, running, and obligatory life tasks. So, this will be my first card in almost two weeks. My blog needed some love so I took some time to sit down and create today. My first card today was created for the Watercooler Wednesday, Freshly Made Sketches, and The Sisterhood Of Crafters challenges. To create my card I started by layering a small strip of blue and white polka patterned paper from the Jen Hadfield Homemade DIY Home 6x6 patterned paper pad onto my white card base. I then stamped the musical note stamp from the Skipping Stones Design Heartsong I stamp set onto a white card panel using Stampin' UP bashful blue ink. I then stamped the butterflies from the same stamp set on top using Gina K Design black ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Skipping Stones Design Heartsong II stamp set onto some Stampin' UP basic black cardstock using Versamark ink and heat embossed it using some Ranger snow detail embossing powder. I adhered the stamped panel down to my card base next to the polka paper and adhered a thin strip of the black cardstock to add some contrast between the panels. I popped the sentiment up off of the card using some thin foam tape and called this card done. I hope you like it!
