Last fall I signed up for her PIF. I didn't even know what PIF was!!!! Since then, she's blessed me with a whole bunch of hand made creations! Here's just a sampling of some of the things I've gotten from "The Castle!"
Here's the lovely card she sent. I love how the tulips are underneath vellum giving it that really soft look! It, of course shows her signature color --- purple!
My favorite is the hand made name tag she made me - Isn't this so cool and creative??? Jacki, if that is a stamp with all the rubber stamped images, please share who makes it! I am sure people other that myself would love this!!! I laugh --- but I teach classes at my local stamp store. I have a group of regulars, whom I love - I don't care that they know my name -- this name tag just has to be displayed! LOL!
Did you see all the stamped images in the main picture - those are only about 30% of what she sent! She actually wrote - "don't be overwhelmed..." HELLO! How could you not??? It will be so nice to have such fun and lovely images on hand for a card in a hurry!
Now... to my creation! One of the things Jacki sent was a huge sheet of stamps from Posh Impressions. I LOVE those brush stroke type flowers! The set even has some fun background elements, some words, and some little add-ons like butterflies and lady bugs!
Here's the card I came up with! The flowers were colored and stamped with markers. I used old paper distress ink for the grid style border, a SU punch for the notebook style edge, and a distresser for the edges of my paper to rough it up a bit. I did cheat and use a Gina K. Designs stamp for the word "friend."
THANKS JACKI! You make me laugh and your cards inspire!
Tomorrow's our last stop on the blog friends tour - we'll go and "B Krafty" with one of my best bloggin' buds.
Until then!
