I Like Him

Plain and simple -- I love my husband. He's not nearly as great as I am, but he's a keeper. So, I made this card for him. Afterwards, I decided that it was a bit (ok, a lot) on the girly side, but it's from me and that makes up for it, don't you think? If you look closely, you'll see the little "I like you" -- this is from a great set of clear acrylics from Wordsworth. I've always loved that company and am thrilled they've come out with some clear stamps. The set has 42 sayings and 2 little frames -- I got it from Addicted to Rubber Stamps during last week's 20% off sale and I think I paid around $12 for it. I wondered how clear an impression such a tiny acrylic would leave -- perfect the first time! How I made this card: The design is obvious -- no special techniques, so I'll just list the supplies: Cardstock: Stampin Up Very Vanilla, Pixie Pink, and Basic Black. Stamps: Autumn Leaves Botanicals by Rhonna Farrer and the ever wonderful Polka Dot background by Cornish Hertiage Farms, and Tiny Wise Words from Wordsworth; Markers: Stampin Up Garden Green and Pixie Pink; Non SU black pigment pen (for the little dots in the middle of the flowers); Memories Black ink; EK Success photo corner punch. I needed the punch to cover up the crooked layers in the corner of the card! May Arts Black and White polka dot organdy ribbon and a heart charm (manufacturer unknown) complete the ensemble! ************ To Answer Some Questions I've received here and at splitcoast: 1. Did I post a review of white inks? At first I said no but then I remembered that I did and that I deleted the post. Sorry for the confusion. I have some new white inks so I'll do another review. 2. Have I had any art training? How kind, how very kind of you to ask. My son laughed when I read that one out loud. Unless you count art once a week in elementary school, that would be a "no"!! 3. Am I an SU Demo? No, used to be but no longer. 4. What kind of lawyer am I? The BEST. No... seriously, I practice special education law for a Federal government agency -- if you are in the US, your tax dollars are paying for my stamps!! On behalf of my addiction, thank you!
