Echos of Kindness


Hello friends! Another quick post today. I feel half human again... thank goodness! Today Averie is home, but everyone else is still at school! Tomorrow there is an service day, so it will be a good mid week break for the kids. Sheldon can use the day to try and catch up on all the homework for the week he missed.

This card uses a new Hostess Set from the new Stampin' Up! catalog. I borrowed some images from my friend Gail. LOVE that sentiment.

The background is Neenah white, ran through the Cuttlebug, then spayed with the same colored Copic markers. I love my little air compressor... and it's been so neglected lately. I then went back and added a little more red with the actual marker (RV29).

The ribbon is from Stampin' Up! too, but I don't think it's still available. It was from the Jersey Ribbon Originals. I also used my new Nesties and Kaiser Pearls. I added just a touch of bling to the main image by adding some Pixie Dust Blingz.

Supplies:

Stamps: Echos of Kindness (Stampin'Up!)
Paper: Neenah White, Riding Hood Red, Basic Black.
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, Copic Markers.
Other: Cuttlebug, Embossing Folder, Kaiser Pearls, Crafter's Tool Kit, Air Compressor, Slot Punch, Ribbon (Stampin'Up!), Pixie Dust Blingz, Nesties, Scor-pal.

Hope you have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!

Cute card, as always, Cami!

I'm glad you're feeling better. Traveling always seems to bring on colds and such... I think it's the close quarters in the airplanes and the lack of sleep!

How much longer until the OCL release? This is torture waiting!

Great card. I love the air brushing on the bag image. I saw that first off and wondered how it was done. TFS!!!

Glad you are feeling better. The background is beautiful. I might just have to look into a little air compressor. :-)
