Timeless Tropical with Beautiful Day Sentiment

Good grief!!  This is the final Stamp Off Challenge

for Susan,  Buffy, and I, for 2019.  Kind of hard

to believe!

This week, we are offering a "Thinking of You" or

Sympathy card.   These are always difficult cards,

because of the situation.  I didn't even try to create

a card for a male, because that is doubly challenging.

This is a sneak peak card, because the flower and leaves

were created with a set that will be released January 3rd.

This is the new Timeless Tropical set with coordinating

In the Tropics Dies (Jan-June Catalog, page 40).

I had a great time working with this bundle, while

stamping with my friends Mary and Jo.  

The sentiment comes from the Beautiful Day set

on page 131.  I masked the word "always" for this

"thinking of you" wording.   I really felt that the font

worked well with the Timeless Tropical set.  

The background Highland Heather layer was run through

the Subtles 3D Embossing folder and then sponged to

highlight the texture.  I added a strip of Neutrals

Designer Series Paper (page 168)

Thank you for checking out my challenge card.

Now please click on over to check out the project

offered by Buffy and Susan!

Merry Christmas

Pine Tree Punch with Detailed Skate Dies

This card uses a simple fun fold, with an oval 

connection between the top and bottom.  I added 

a Gold Foil Pine Tree punched image (Holiday page 13)

and layers of Wrapped in Plaid DSP (Holiday page 13). 

The Gold Foil leafing comes from the Detailed

Skate Dies on Holiday page 44.  Sadly, the Detailed

Skate Dies are retiring with this catalog. 

Merry Moose Punch

I almost forgot my final Merry Moose Monday!!

Please enjoy your holiday preparations,

that are hopefully done!

Snowman Season

Here is a happy snowman from Snowman Season

(Holiday page 20).   It is layered on to some

Subtles Designer Series Paper.
