My Mom's Birthday Gift

I wanted to wait to post this until she actually opened it, so this is the gift set of cards I made my mom for her birthday.  The card may look a little familiar...instead this time I used the flourish from With Sympathy in white on vellum.  I wanted her to have the flexibility of using customized labels, so I included those as well.  The box is Lauren Meader's "Captured Card Case" Timeless Template.  My first one--I'm so proud...Oh, my parents have pomegranate trees in their backyard (oh, how I miss them), so I thought Purely Pomegranate paper would be appropriate :).
Here's the selection of sentiments.

The card case and the example card...

Paper: PTI White, vellum,  SU Purely Pomegranate
Ink: PTI Fresh Snow, Versafine Onyx
Stamps: PTI With Sympathy, Men of Life, Women of Life, SU Warmest Regards
Other: Labels-Office Max, PTI true black satin ribbon, SU scallop punch

ELC Look On the Bright Side Kit

Hi friends,  Erin Lee Creative has a fantastic new kit today which coordinates with the previously-released Somewhere Kit .  It's called Look On the Bright Side , and it has a die, stencil and stamp sets with the most perfect sentiments for encouragement cards.  There is also a rainbow alphabet set available as an add-on.   Join us in our blog hop today and comment to enter for a giveaway (see below). Isn't this a great kit? My first card uses the rainbow burst stencil.  I pounced white ink through the stencil, then I used Polychromos pencils to color over the white ink.  This technique allows the color to stand out on dark cardstock.  Of course I had to add a little shine and glitter, so I colored over parts of the rainbow and rays with a shimmer pen. My next two cards were inspired by a T-shirt ad I came across, and I loved the ombré of skin tones.  I really believe that good things are coming, and I absolutely believe that we rise by lift...
