Best of Luck in Florida...

Sorry I've been MIA for a while.  Life has been a bit crazy for me this year with my health.  I've done some card making, but not any blogging so here I am to catch up for the year.  I made this going away card for my hubs co-worker who was moving to Florida.  

 I kept this CAS, using the Sizzix Embossing Folder on White card stock, coloring Florida in in orange.  I added a die-cut Palm Tree and Sun from the My Favorite Things set Sunny Vibes.  The Sentiment is from a MFT retired Pure Innocence Set.  I mounted my paper on Orange, then a Crumb Cake base layer.  Topped it off with some baker's twine and a button.

Thank you for stopping by!

Good Luck Kirsten!!!

 One of my cycling friends asked me if I'd like to be her Sherpa for her Half Ironman in Indian Wells.  I was honored to do it!  I made Kirsten this card to wish her luck for her upcoming race.  

I got the inspiration for my card from the Indian Wells Half Ironman website.  The colors they used were teal, orange, and a palm tree...so this is what I came up with.  I ran the US Map Sizzix folder through the Cuttlebug then colored in California with Orange.  I mounted it on a Bermuda Bay card base.  I used the Palm Tree from My Favorite Things Sunny Vibes stamp set and die-cut it, mounting it on pop dots.  I die-cut Captions Numbers in Only Orange and mounted them on the card base.  Sentiment is from a really old set from Stampin' Up called All Year Cheer III.  Tied a bow with orange baker's twine to finish off the card.
