Sparkly hugs

This is another background made with alcohol ink on silver sparkle alcohol ink paper.  The circle hugs is a combination of 2 dies.  The hugs part is cut out of an open circle.  I had to use another circle die to create the border.  This circle hugs is cut from holographic silver paper. 

I added a silver layer, cut with a Sissix rectangle die that cuts dots around the edge.  I then mounted this on a lavender card base.  I stamped a cut little house mouse stamp and message to back of card.

These stamps are from a darling stamp set I just got.  These cute mice are all wearing masks, along with the rest of us.

Sparkly birthday

I've had some problems being creative this month.  It's been a sad month with the death of my precious dog and the dog of my best friend.  It's always hard to lose them when they've been a part of out lives for so long.

I had to pull myself out to make a birthday card for a special female relative.  This background is made with alcohol inks on silver sparkle alcohol ink paper.  It leaves a very vibrant sparkly color.  I added several dies to finish this card, then mounted it on a yellow card base.

It's hard to capture the true color and sparkle of this card.  Another photo shows the color better, but not all the sparkle.

Stay healthy

I've been very distracted lately and haven't been very creative.  I lost my good friend and faithful dog recently.  He lived a good life, but had a difficult time this spring.  Cancer strikes again and he crossed the Rainbow Bridge the end of June.  I miss him a lot.

I did find myself making a belated birthday card recently.  This was for a man trying to stay healthy while this pandemic is keeping him at home.

Independence Day

Tomorrow is the day that we celebrate freedom in the USA.  I made a couple of cards to celebrate.
