Happy almost the end of May. I recently returned from a fabulous weekend with my three Sisters-in-law. We went to Nashville, Indiana, rented a cabin and enjoyed each other’s company. We talked about family, politics, motherhood, husbands, kids, school shootings, guns and many other topics. It was a judgement free zone and we shared our true feelings about many many things. We didn’t always agree on everything and that was actually good because it allowed us to grow individually and together. This was the first I’m sure, of many future weekends.
My card today is for all of my new and re-newed friends who are family cause they married my brothers. Love you all.
THE DETAILS
This card has lots going on but was really easy to pull together. Starting with the background I used a new die from the Stitched Labels Framelits set. I adds texture and stitching for a subtle look
The label on the front of the card is also from that die set. The coordinating stamp set Stitched All Around has sentiments that fit perfectly in that label. I chose just to add some black sequin ribbon toped with a silver adhesive backed rose from the Share What You Love Embellishment Kit.
The flowers and sentiment are from the Share What You Love stamp set.
THE TECHNIQUE
To get the two tone look behind the sentiment I used my new Mango Melody and Poppy Parade ink pads and my D sized acrylic block. I placed one ink pad on the top of the block and the other on the bottom to add color. Spritzed with water then ‘stamped’ it onto whisper white card stock. How easy is that and so fun to try different combinations of colors.

Good Morning Lynn, WOW that sounds like a great time. I love your card and must remember to try the ink on the block technique. I just don’t think of that and it would be perfect for many little touches. I’m also falling in love with the Stitched Lable Framelits! OH BOY!!
I have two sisters and we go away with our Hubs for a week for the past five years. it is a wonderful time . . . plenty of time, space and fun.
Happy Tuesday.

Love your card today, Lynn. Thanks for the tip about getting the two-color background. The new label caught my eye right away in this set. Your weekend sounds fabulous. Enjoy your day!
So sweet! Such beautiful texture on this card. Glad you had a great time with your sisters-in-law.
