Today I thought I would make some swap cards on behalf of my sister. She had surgery yesterday and is unable to attend the swap tonight. SO, I thought I would ship up some quick cards for her. I originally wanted to make this a sympathy card but I had a difficult time trying to figure out how to add the words without it looking out of place. I ended up using the circle that was punched out from making the ring. I took the "thanks" photopolymer clear stamps and I arched it before I set it on the clear block. That way I could get it to fit on the circle like you see in the photo.
The base of this card is Lost Lagoon, Whisper White and Mint Macaron.
I stamped the flower image using Lost Lagoon. I punched out some cute little flowers using Lost Lagoon card stock. The ring was punched using the 1-1/2" circle punch and the 1-3/8" circle punch. I used the 1-3/8" punch first and then lined up the other punch over it to get the ring. That ring was set in place using Dimensional pieces. I set the flowers in place using Glue Dots to hold them in place. I added a little pearl to each flower. That panel was set in place on the card using Dimensionals. I taped and then slipped the word piece just under the focal panel. I thought it looked like it needed a little something, so I added some more pearls to the card. It was the best I could do in the time I had to do it. I wished I would have thought of making cards for my sister a few days ago. Just too much going on in my life to organize a thought lately!!
