a card a day in may - 5/13: THINKING OF YOU

Hi, friends! Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there! I know my post is REALLY late... sorry about that. It's 11:30pm here, so I'm getting this in just under the wire! ;) The card I originally planned to show you today was for a special post that I recently learned I'm just not allowed to put up yet. So I had to hurry up and race home (we've been out & about all afternoon/evening) and get another one photographed to put up in its place. Whew! :)


This was made with another Impress image that I just LOVE! It's a huge stamp... pretty much covers the entire front of a card when left whole! Here, I used Punch chalk ink and stamped off on some scrap paper first, then on my card stock. It's that generation stamping again. ;) I wanted the flower to have the same Punch ink color, but not be so intense that the sentiment had to compete with it. Generation stamping fixes that. :) After stamping my flower, I stamped the sentiment, and then trimmed around the whole thing. A black border punch on one side balances out the heavy sentiment.

See you again tomorrow! Can you believe I'm almost at the half-way point?! I know, me either! LOL Thanks for peekin'... inky hugs!
