For this card, I used several Stampin' Up!, & Basic Grey products. I used distress inks to let the image pop and love the effect it gave to the card!!
Its not shown well, but the butterfly image is stamped on vellum to give a soft window... this allows the word image to be seen in the front of the card.
As shown in the next window, word stamps are very elegant if they are placed well.
Grandpa was sleeping when I set it on his table, but knowing him I know he very much enjoyed having received this card. He is a very down to earth person who appreciates the time and energy it takes to give and received such a thoughtful gift as a homemade card.
My question today is Do we really need a reason to make a card? Do you?
I know that I have always had a reason to make a card whether its intended to give right away or if its something premade to send for such an occassion later...my challenge is to push myself to make a card for no reason...I am working on such a card right now and I will say it has been difficult to put together...I will share this card when its finished!! Will you be able to make a card for no other reason than to put one out there and have til you need it - for whatever reason? Should we have a cache for such things? I'm interested in your thoughts, so let me know what you think!!
As always, any and all comments are welcome!
Thanks for looking and happy stamping!!
Stay Inspired!
