Karen's Card

Hello! Today I am showing you a card I made for my stamping friend Karen Knegten. I'm sure many of you know her. Karen was rushed to the hospital recently with a brain aneurism. While in the hospital she suffered another and wound up having brain surgery twice. I can't imagine how scary it must have been for Karen and her family. Now she has a long recovery ahead of her. This is the card I made for her. I hope she liked it.

I cut a piece of Pure Luxury White card stock using my Spellbinders™ Nestabilities® Large Classic Rectangles. I sponged a bit of Memento Cantaloupe ink just in the center.

Sponged Memento Angel Pink.

Sponged Memento Rose Bud.

Sponged Memento Lulu Lavender.

Sponged Memento Grape Jelly.

I masked off the top using a sticky note and sponged more Memento Grape Jelly.

I stamped the palm tree, from Aloha (Gina K Designs) using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Then stamped the sailboat, also with Tuxedo Black.

Colored in the palm fronds with YG97 and YG95.

Colored in the trunk with E59.

Then I added some shading with N5 and N7.

I added ripples to the water with BV11 and an opaque white gel pen.

I cut another piece of Pure Luxury White using Spellbinders Labels 18 and sponged Memento Lulu Lavender and Grape Jelly, then stamped the sentiment. I layered with Pure Luxury Vibrant Purple and used a Lovely Lavender card base (4 ¼ by 5 ½ inches). Then I added some of those gorgeous Spellbinders Jewel Fantasies feathers, cut using Pure Luxury Vibrant Purple.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!
