So last night after I finished watching Desperate Housewives (SPOILER ALERT: so soapy, but oh my gosh I cannot believe Andrew went home to Bree) and "The Lake House" (I was surprised at how good this one was -- DH had to over analyze it though, as usual *sigh*), I decided to work on the cards in the card kits that I got at the Creating Keepsakes convention. Since I was not in the class, but just volunteering, I did not make them while I was there, but the teachers were very generous and I got a kit for each one with insturctions. Naturally, I had to embellish, modify and make them mine. It was a lot of fun to play around. These three cards are from the class called "Card Work not House Work: Wash, Dry, and Embellish" by Wendy Johnson. It was fun. My favorite part was the glue charms with rub ons on top -- look really snazzy for just a glob of glue if you ask me. Look for me to do this on future cards. *smiles* I also like how these cards involve no stamping. It was good for me to work a little more with paper and no stamps.
This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus).
