All Occasion

Happy Saturday afternoon Friends...and I hope it's a wonderful one in your part of the world. It's another gloomy dreary one here in Upstate SC, windy, and the temps have dropped again (not terribly, but in the low 50's).  I'm scurrying around trying to get ready to leave early tomorrow for a few days. Got my list, checking it off as I do things, adding stuff on the list I forgot to write the first time. I tried to get some cards finished last night, so I could schedule some posts while I'm away. I decided to leave the laptop at home on this short trip. We'll be visiting museums (I HOPE) and doing a lot of walking, so I expect at night I shall be too tired to get on a computer. We got our breathing machines yesterday...DH's is slightly different from the one I have to use. The technician who brought them out, showed us the use & cleaning thereof, strongly suggested we take them with us. Reason: There is a chip in each machine that shows the usage hours, any problems the patient might have with air leakage, etc., and in order to have Medicare cover these items - you are required to use it a certain number of hours in a certain time frame. So - the laptop would be just one more bag to lug along. Let me tell you, all the info this lovely lady passed along to us, put my ole brain right into info overload!!! Fortunately there is a manual for each machine, and hopefully we will both get better sleep - and have more energy - with regular use of the CPap (DH's) and VPap (mine). OK, enough waffling, onto the card:

 

 

- stamp is P Black Winter Ledge, airbrushed from the top down, with Copic Violets, Pinks, blues, yellow greens, greens, all in very light colors. I tried sponging ala Heather Telford with Memento inks, and was satisfied (a bit!) with the effect. Then I tried to do the stamp with versamark, heatset with clear emboss, use a Stamp-a-majig and restamp slightly offset with black. Bet you can guess what happened. So, I started over, just used my airbrushing, and then only stamped once with Memento Tuxedo black.

 

- diecut with S/Binders Label 1. Sponged some DI Stormy Sky around the edges while still in the die. Faux cut a black mat with the same S/Binder.

 

- cardbase is white c/s, diecut with Spellbinders Grand Label one.

 

Will put any sentiment on the inside, because I don't want to draw the eye away from the pretty stamp. I think you'll see this stamp used here again because I believe it is quite versatile. Hope you enjoyed the cardshare, and have a Blessed Day. Thanks for the gift of your time today, and always appreciate any comment you'd care to leave for feedback! Hugs
