Thursday Morning Before Work: Bright and Early Project! I colored the background |
Saturday - Worked to get the card done |
Pens, Ink, Washi Supplies |
Final Card: Giving Thanks for You |
The first photo is from coloring the Hero Arts background stamp on day #17 of the challenge, with Thanksgiving in mind.
And, today, day 19, I finished the card. The background morphed quite a bit, eh?
I used Vintage Photo Distress Ink to turn it brown.
This card is actually getting sent to my Aunt Rachel. She sent a beautiful box of my Grandma Marina's treasure to me: a knit sweater that my Grandma made (it fits beautifully), one of my Grandma's crocheted doilies, another recipe of my Grandmothers (to add to my collection), and a lovely letter from my Aunt on how all of these things made their way to me.
What a treasure. My Grandmother died earlier this year, in January, at the well lived aged of 104. She was one amazing woman. I traveled to California and was able to see a lot of my Campos relatives, including my mother Grace. The time and celebration spent with everyone will be treasured for many, many years. We celebrated in Monterey, right on the ocean. And we did a lot of story telling, many while drinking martini's in my little cottage room.
Anyway, here are the supplies used for getting this card done!
