A SPECIAL CARD.....

Hello my Lovelies, I been really busy at my desk, creating some cards for a Dear Lady at swimming who lost her husband to Cancer.  This is a special card for Mildred it is her best friend. I made one for the gang to sign, I'll post that later..

 I started with another envelope, smaller this time, 12 x 91/2. in.
I had a paper sitting around which I had put a stencil I had used with paste then rubbed it on the paper, I used some of Tim's ink, spiced marmalade , rusty hinge, fired brick and worn lipstick to color it up..

 I stamped a sentiment all over with pomegranate ink, then cut out a lily from a card front, stamped a sentiment and some fancy corner grasses.

 I used a tiny heart stencil and bumped it with 2 paint colors then stamped a lily stamp with white paint..

 For the inside I gessoed over a pretty paper, it cover all the shiny bits but gave a beautiful texture, I used gelatos to color it all the reds and oranges pinks I had and blended it with water..

                I added a envelope with a thinking of you card inside..

I stamped one of my favorite quotes on some gessoed dictionary page..

 I had stamped the faith image on the paper but it got smeared so I stamped it on more gessoed book page, with the word love in the middle and put it on top...

I made my favorite circles with a lid from a hairspray bottle with some Fresco paints, yes I said paints, my wonderful sis Sandy got me 5 of the translucent paints. I have been experimenting with them still need a lots of practice, I keep watching the Paper artys video's.
I stamped some french script in pomegranate stamping up ink and a small butterfly all over , then stamped memories in black ink, if you look at it on the large setting you can see the texture on the page.
I have to get back to my desk and get my challenge for the Dragons done. I was sick most of last week so I have a lot to get caught up on, I'm feeling better now, and will be around to visit later.
Hope you all have a wonderful week, ((( BIG HUGS )))..

                                         NAMASTE !!!!
