Whew!

Well, it's been pretty hectic lately! Work has been busy and I haven't had too much time for extracurricular activities. However, have been busy stamping for various events and swap obligations. Here are two cards I designed for a co-worker who was married this month:

She asked me if I would make her some cards for her bridesmaids and sponsors for her wedding because she wanted them to have "something special." I was very touched that she would even consider asking me, since not everyone sees handmade cards in the same light. I agreed, but refused to let her pay, saying that it was just a little extra wedding gift. She was thrilled when I brought them to her, so I was thrilled too!

Both cards are made using Almost Amethyst for the card base, with combinations of white and silver. For the card on the left, I watercolored directly onto white mulberry paper using my aquapainter, and the ovals were created using my Coluzzle. The card on the right has a more diffused look to it, since I layered vellum paper over the stamped images.

I'll have more pics tomorrow of my other recent projects. Have a great Saturday night!
