DT INk Prompt For the Guys

 


The Ton Stamps Golf Course Layering Stamps/Golf Therapy Stamps and dies, Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Sentiment Strip



Our new challenge at INk is FOR THE GUYS!



I splurged with birthday money and invested on these gorgeous stamp sets from The Ton.


The golf course layering stamps are really fun to play with and I was able to get a card done for hubby! I didn't need the dies this time around (in case I messed up on the layering of ground, ocean and sky borders)..but I got them just in case!


I can't wait to make more (now that I've had a little practice).  The results are truly realistic looking.


Please join us with your masculine take this time around~

Miles Away Bday Card




Picket Fence Studios Nice Seeing You, The Ton Stamps Floral World Sentiments, Copics


 I created this for my aunt's final bday in this world.


She turned 74 and died shortly thereafter.


It's been a painful loss, but I'm determined to rejoice in her memory; she is no longer suffering in this world.


It's a balance I believe we have to learn to move in, and with the Lord's grace, I do!



I put a lot of colors (Copic added) in here to try to convey all the beautiful peeps that love her and would miss her terribly.


Though she was in hospice when I sent this, I didn't want to add to sorrow, but keep it upbeat with multiple colors and sentiments, and floating images. 


 I'm a big fan of visual movement.

Check out this photo...I took it literally and was excited to bring out This Palette die I haven't used in awhile (or ever).


It's HUGE...so I brought out all my floral stencils from The Ton and die cut everything but Hydrangeas (fussy cut) for that organic look.

Color Hues


 The Ton Stamps Easy Expressions, Stampin Up 1999 Wooden Stamp, Copics


I recently acquired this wooden stamp from a thrift store!


It's such a cool image and an amazing year, to be honest.


That's the year I met Jesus. :)


My life hasn't been the same (in a good way) since that day.


I grew up around many faiths and religions, but when Jesus met me, THAT WAS IT.


He's the real deal and He's never left me nor forsaken me and I would do it all again, given the opportunity.


Speaking of opportunities (sorry there's never a simple segue from  life changing moments and topics)...check out Color Hues.



Thank you for your sweet visit today~
