I let the piece dry and then I went back over the poinsettias and colored in the leaves with Rustic Wilderness distress ink and the flower petals with Aged Mahogany and Candy Apple distress inks. To add some sparkle, I painted the centers of the poinsettias with some liquid gold watercolor paint, and then I flicked the gold paint all over the piece. After the piece was completely dry, I brushed the edges with Vintage Photo distress ink using an ink blender brush. The sentiment from the Victorian Greetings set was stamped with Pinecone Versafine Clair ink and affixed with foam tape.
Have a safe and wonderful holiday season!
My younger son has an amazing girlfriend. I really, really like her! She is smart, and funny, and I really like being around her. She recently applied for, and got into, grad school. Plus, she is part of a Zoom book club with my sisters and nieces. We can get a little, well, rambunctious. She is always part of the action. A keeper for sure!
I made this card and bookmark for her when she got accepted into Grad School. I think she really liked it!
The Cloud Edger Stencil works perfectly with the Learning to Fly stamp. The little wings on the cards are from the Whimsy Wings Set. This was an easy and fun project duo to make, and I know Maria appreciated it! Let's hope she is in the family for a long time to come.

I have always loved the Don't Lose Faith stamp from Technique Junkies. It has a wonderful sentiment and is a beautiful illustration:

| SD704 Don't Lose Faith |
But when I came out with the SS131 Acceptance, Respect, Peace Set, I couldn't help but think that these things were a match that couldn't be passed up. The only problem was that I wanted to use the sentiments without the embedded "You must not lose faith in humanity..." sentiment.

Today's video shows you how to mask and omit those small words from the stamp perfectly. This is the result of the masking:
and a peek at the inside of the card:
You may also notice the blue map in the background. That is a stamp called S131 Dutch Colonial Map. That stamp has never been released by Technique Junkies, even though it has been in my line. I think it is amazing on this card, so now I am releasing it for you! What I like about this is how it is detailed enough to add great interest to a piece, but non-specific enough to not have to be from anywhere specific. At least, that is how I see it!
