Do You Have an Extra Card???

That was the question our daughter asked a few weeks ago. A friend of hers had just lost his closest friend and she wanted something more masculine but without using the word sympathy.

Her request really got me thinking. I make most all my cards with someone in particular in mind, designed according to their likes and personality. Have a feeling most of you do the same thing.

Anyway, I have decided that maybe I should have a few card fronts made up for those, moments when “I need a card right now.” 

 

Recently, I purchased an embossing folder created by Anna Griffin. I used it for my January 18, 2018 post, a white-on-white article entitled Aviary. I can not get the thought of that folder out of my mind. It is so elegant.

 

One of my passions is working with the metallic pearl papers. They offer a unique richness and when embossed the detail shows such depth. I selected an antique gold for the design. Since this was to be mounted on a white pearl cardstock, I used a flat black cardstock to mount the design upon. Really very simple yet it has that touch of class. I’ll probably do a few more similar to this but with a different color theme.

 

I have some time right now, maybe I ought to use it wisely to be prepared. 

Thank you for stopping by today. This really was a fun project for me. 

Hope it might inspire you to create something a little out of your norm. Something to have ready for that “Hey Mom, Do You Have an Extra Card???”

Well, till next time, May God Bless You and Yours.
