The Crafty Nurse for my first post of 2017. I don't know about you, but I plan on making 2017 a year of creativity. Creativity is so restorative for me and a great way to fit in some intentional creativity is to make cards. They are small, completed quickly and so very much appreciated by your recipient.
As a jumpstart to more creativity in your life, I sure hope you will take the time to join us for the January 2017 Blog Hop. Pat is offering 15% off all January release stamps over in the Technique Junkies store until January 9th so you only have a few days left to pick up some stamps to make a card for your sweetie this Valentines Day.
For my card today I'm sharing a little love and hopefully a little inspiration for your love-filled creativity. I began by heat embossing the new release stamp "Messy Love #S744" in Ranger's Red Pepper embossing powder on black card stock. With my background done I then prepared a piece of card stock with a few shades of Art Anthology Dimensional Paint's in Red Velvet, Mi Bella, and Cotton Candy, which I applied in an ombre fashion. Once that was dry, I stamped last years release called "Happy Valentine's Day" #SD661" using Black Stazon Ink. I finished off with some "faux" stitching and called her done!
The Design Team and I would like to thank you for your comments both here and on our personal blogs. It really means so much to us throughout the year. We'd love to hear from you about what you'd all like to see from our posts here on the TJ Design Team Blog for this 2017 year.
Happy New Year!!
The Crafty Nurse
