Oldies But Goodies
Hi, everyone! I have nothing new to show you again, but I had an idea. I have a gallery full of projects over at SCS that have never been posted on my Blog. I thought maybe it would be OK if on occasion I could pull a favorite project from my SCS gallery and share it with you here. Now, if you are one to frequent SCS, this may be old hat to you, and if so, I’m sorry, but I’m just assuming there may be many of you who have never seen this one. I’ve created a category for my Oldies But Goodies, and plan to add these Oldies from time to time. Here’s the one I chose for today:
This card uses a favorite set of mine, Baroque Motifs, and this is a sympathy card; however, any sentiment could be used for any number of occasions. I used a favorite sentiment of mine from All I Have Seen. The sentiment is done with Marvy punches and is up on pop dots, with a rhinestone brad on top. The card is my favorite size, 5 1/2″ square. The stamped panel, framed in Soft Sky, is raised up on mounting tape. I love to do that on special cards. It lends such — gee, I don’t know what — an air of importance, or grace. I think it just adds so much. The Groovy Guava strip is stamped in the same ink and highlighted with a Signo White Gel pen. The edges of the large panel are softly sponged in Soft Sky. And I doubled up on my ribbon here — I love doing that — again, I think double ribbon just adds to the *specialness* of the card. And, quite frankly, sometimes neither color is just quite right, but when you double them up and use both, it works!!!
