Birthday Branch


Birthday Branch

1. I couldn't think of a catchy title for this card.

2. I CASE'd a card at Splitcoast Stampers by krischir. She ran her main panel through an embossing folder. It was pretty.

3. I forgot to send my main panel through an embossing folder. It looked bare. I couldn't figure out why.

4. I used a corner heart punch, thinking it would cut the corner in the shape of a heart and do something about that bareness. I was wrong.

5. I took this picture outside, in the bright afternoon sun. This is what I got.

6.So now I have this dark, gray-looking, non-embossed card with an odd looking heart thing in the corner.

7. Happy Monday. Has anyone seen my mojo??


Supplies:
Paper: Bazzill (green and pink cardstock); GinaK (Whatever pound, Pure Luxury White cardstock)
Stamps: Hero Arts (Flower and Leaf Branch, Birthday Messages set)
Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Forest Moss)
ETC: Artists Loft (Watercolor Pencil, for flowers); EK Success (heart corner punch thing)


I'm totally blaming all this on the barometric pressure, which is currently dropping like a rock as the storm system pounding Kentucky is headed this way.

Yes. That's my final answer and I'm sticking to it.

Did I say Happy Monday?
