The leaves were stamped with versamark dazzle on to cardstock vellum, then I brush on some perfect pearls in kiwi….gorgeous colors!!! The sentiment was stamped with memento tuxedo black.

I needed a quick card for a client’s daughter. Her mother, my client is in the hospital(ICU) in critical but stable condition. She went into the hospital(over two weeks ago) with symptoms of pneumonia, was diagnosed with pneumonia and the swine flu. They(doctors) put her in a drug induced coma a couple of days ago, not sure why they did that, but if it will help her get better…… so be it!! I wanted to let her know that she and her mom are in my thoughts and prayers everyday! My client, her daughter is around my age with a daughter that is 8 or 9 years old. I just can’t even imagine what she is going through right now. If you could please send out a prayer for her mom and her to get through this, I would greatly appreciate it.
The card is pretty much self explanatory, image and sentiment are from Rubbernecker Stamp Co.

Happy Wacky Wednesday!! It’s that time again, for a Rubbernecker Wacky Wednesday challenge and Kittie is the Wacky Wednesday hostess for this week. She has challenged us and you to use circles any where on your card and or project. Head over to the Rubbernecker blog to check out all the details.
On my first card I feel like I cheated a little by just using half of a circle, even though there are circles in the polka dot paper. I made a half circle using some Kandi Corp. Rhinestones. I can’t take credit for this card design, I saw it some where just can’t remember where. I do know that I did change a few things…… stamp image, sentiment and I think the ribbon. The flower image was stamped twice, I cut out the whole flower and then the middle of the second flower for some depth and added some white foam boosters on the back for dimension. I colored the flower with my Copic markers.

SUPPLIES:
- Paper: Prism Simply Smooth White, Black, PTI Black & White Basics
- Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
- Accessories: RN May Arts Pink Satin Ribbon, Kandi Corp Crystal Rhinestones, White Foam Boosters
- Copics: RV10, RV11, Rv14
- Card Size: 5.50 x 4.25
Items available at Rubbernecker Stamp Co..
Here is the second card I made using a Spellbinders circle die to make a circle card. When making a circle card or any other shape card using Spellbinders dies make sure you leave a little of the top of the folded card below the cutting part of the die so the card will fold. I then make a cut out circle to place on top of the circle card, so you don’t see the flat edge(fold) at the top. Did that make sense? I used a ornare piercing template to make the dotted swirls with a pencil and then went over them with a Sakura black gelly roll glaze pen. The “celebrate” and “candle flames” are colored in with a Sakura orange stardust pen, lots of sparkle. I used a lemon atyou Spica pen for the middle of the candle flames. The candles are colored in with Koh-i-noor pencils and gamsol. I used a C1 Copic marker for the shadow under the candles and around the word celebrate.

SUPPLIES:
- Paper: Prism Simply Smooth White, Intense Orange
- Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
- Accessories: Spellbinders Circle Die, Ornare Piercing Template, Black Organdy Swirl Ribbon, Koh-i-noor Colored Pencils, Gamsol, Sakura Black Gelly Roll Glaze Pen, Sakura Orange Stardust Pen, Lemon Atyou Spica Pen.
- Copics: C1
