Happy
Friday! It’s weeks like this that we’re definitely
reminded that it’s summer in the mid-atlantic and all the humidity that goes
along with it (wowsers). I certainly see
some time at the pool in our future this weekend, just to stay cool. For some
reason things have gotten a little more in control in our schedules, or maybe I’ve
adjusted, which has meant I’ve had some additional time in the studio, which I
love. Today I decided to play along with
this weeks Fab Friday Sketch challenge and make a card for a dear
friend, just because!
I
started with Smoky Slate cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Mint
Macaron DSP from the 2015-2017 In Colors Designer
Series Paper Stack that I matted with Basic Black cardstock. Next I took a piece of Smoky Slate cardstock
and embossed it with the Big Shot and
the Sparkle Embossing Folder. Next I used the Celebrate Today stamp set and stamped the big balloon in Mint
Macaron ink on Whisper White cardstock and then stamped the little confetti in
Basic Black before cutting it out with the Big
Shot and Balloon Framelits. I tied a double bow using Basic Black Baker’s Twine to the bottom
of the balloon before attaching it to the cardfront with dimensionals. I added a couple of sequins from the Metallics
Sequins for the mandatory bling.
The
greeting is from the Just Kidding
stamp set (this was one of the original photopolymer sets that was released so
it’s not in the catalog and doesn’t show up on the online store but if you do a
search of the title it does pop up and you can order, there are few like that)
and it was stamped in Basic Black. This
sentiment is perfect for my friend and I know she’ll appreciate it.
Sometimes
you need to send a card, just because, to let someone know you’re thinking of
them and this does the job perfectly!

and have a great weekend!
