  CAS-ual FRIDAYS BLOG HOP     When I chose the CAS-ual Fridays Casual Comfort Stamp/Die Set for this Blog Hop,  I planned on creating a more upbeat card. Recent events  forced me to change my mind -  unfortunately there are times when we need to send a sympathy card.     So, starting with an original photograph of a Calla Lily in my garden, I took one of the Casual Trees Fri-Dies that seemed to mimic fern leaves. I embossed a two-layer piece of card stock for a deep embossed result. Then, using the coordinating stamp, I colored the leaves with VersaFine Ink in the Habanero and Crimson Red colors. The interesting white veining is the result of the embossing technique.

                 StencilGirl CHRISTMAS IN JULY Blog Hop           Summers here in Florida hardly invoke thoughts of anything close to Winter snow, or  Reindeer for that matter….so this StencilGirl Blog Hop was truly a challenge.  I chose the StencilGirl Mandala Stencil #2 to create a unique snowflake design for this retro -feel Christmas Card. Utilizing ImagineCrafts Palette Knives, I spread  ImagineCrafts Clear Creative Medium [mixed with Vanilla acrylic paint for color] over the  festive card stock. The sentiment is embossed with a mixture of ImagineCrafts EMBOSS  White and Shimmer embossing powder.
