Love that Wreath!

In (almost) the same colors to match the cards,

I created some Glue Bottle Stopper Toppers.

These fit perfectly for the Bearly Art Glue Bottles.

I prefer the 4 ounce bottle.

I used to bead and make jewelry before I found card making and became addicted, so I do have most supplies on hand.  I will say my Jump Ring Game ain't what it used to be though and warned the recipients these may fall apart!  lol

Here is mine in colors of the sea, blues and greens.

I also bought extra Stainless Steel Pins from Bearly Art for the dangles.

I lost one pin, so that is why I created this!  

So far I have been able to find it!  HA!

My sister, Carol, who lived in Iowa, passed away unexpectantly last month.  

It was a shocking loss to say the least.  

I made this card for her eldest daughter, Robyn, my Niece.

These are the most difficult cards to create yet are the ones we need the most, 

especially when it is your very own loved one.  

I hope it conveyed a bit of what we all are feeling.

Double D, Hearts

 Good Morning! 

A brand new Challenge is up and running over at the Double D Challenge Blog. 

Here is your Inspiration Tile:

 

Hearts.

I was drawn in by the Bleeding Hearts panel, they are so lovely!

Here is what I created:

I used an older Papertrey Ink Kit, Garden Gate.

All of the stamps and dies and Designer Papers create beautiful garden cards.

This is an actual gate fold card with a gate front lol

I did adhere it to a top folding card though, somewhere to write a nice note.

I used Distress Oxide inks to create my background;

Faded Jeans and Peeled Paint.

Tuxedo Black, Pink Pirouette, Rose Red, So Saffron and Wild Wasabi inks.

Gate and Lattice dies.

Bleeding Hearts stamp and dies.

Gate Sign die.

Designer Paper cut for Sign.

This is all in the PTI Garden Gate Kit.

Gina K Designs, Seasons of Joy and Stamp It Big stamp sets.

White Paint Splatters.
