Celebrate Any Day Cards

 Hi friends!  It has been awhile since my last post.  I am still working on my Christmas cards so, hopefully, I will be in good shape come the time to mail them out.  I am so glad to have things I enjoy to pass the time away during this pandemic!  Don't get me wrong--I do have my down days but my hobbies have been a source of needed distraction.

Today, I would like to share two cards I made using a stamp and die set from Pink Fresh Studios/Altenew.  I decided to do a little watercoloring and stamped and embossed the image on both cards.


My first card is done in soft colors using Distress Oxides.  A Sunny Studios embossing folder was used on the background.  The sentiment, which was included with the stamp set, was embossed with Silver Recollections embossing powder on vellum.  Studio Katia clear droplets were used for accent.


My next card was colored with Zig Watercolor Markers.  The same Sunny Studios embossing folder was used as well as a different sentiment from the stamp set.  Studio Katia Iridescent drops were used as accent here.

My goal was to make some cards flat enough for mailing.  Even though the drops are dimensional, I think they can still go through the mail in a flat envelope.

That's about it for me today.  It is a beautiful Fall day here.  Our dog is under the weather so I had to make a trip to the veterinarian for medication.  Hopefully, it will do the trick.  I hope all is well with you and you are staying safe.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  I appreciate your kind comments.
