Hi everyone! Did you enjoy the first day of peeks yesterday? Lots of {ippity} goodness over the blogasphere, huh?!?Today we are peeking the sets Regal Greetings and Music of My Heart!!
I have 2 cards to share and they both use Regal Greetings! I didn't plan it that way, it just happened. This first card was very difficult for me to make. My friend, Shannan lost her husband over the weekend. She and her 2 little boys are dealing with unimaginable grief right now. I absolutely could not get this card started. It took me 3 days.
Sometimes when I have a difficult card to make, I go to another stamper for inspiration. This card was inspired by Amy Rohl's amazing card here. I used one of the sentiments from Regal Greetings. The pattern paper is from KaiserCraft, their Cafe Culture line and of course the gorgeous May Arts ribbon is from Sharon's Stamp Simply Ribbon store as are the Chocolate pearl accents.
My next card uses a different sentiment and an accent stamp from the set. Using my Stamp-a-ma-jig I stamped the accent flourish on top and bottom in chocolate chip ink. Making sure to leave room for the sentiment in the middle. I embossed the sentiment in white. I added some Snow Kaiser Pearls as accents. The ribbon is Martha Stewart Seam Binding and the beautiful white flower is from Zva Creative, Sweet Blossoms. This card is pretty simple allowing the sentiment to stand alone.Don't forget to stop by the Design Team's blogs to see more peeks. Someone is bound to show you something from the Music of the Heart set -LOL!

Beautiful cards Michell. I love the soft natural/neutral colors.
ReplyDeleteI am so sad to hear about your friend's loss. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family.
Two fabulous sets of cards, Michelle! LOVE the top one - that striped ribbon is fabulous. I will be making a card for Shannan as well, even though I don't "know her" so I can show her some support. My kids are just a few years older than hers and the though of them having to deal with what those kids are dealing with (never mind Shannan!) just breaks my heart! I'm sure she will greatly appreciate your card and support.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, these are just gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!! WOW, that big bow is just incredible and love your designs as always, girlie.....hugs, Eva
