Happy Saturday everyone! Thanks for stopping in today. I wanted to share with you some cards I will be doing at a workshop on Monday. We have a retirement village close to me that the manager has asked me to do some cards with the residents. The residents are older and capable of living on their own (they have apartments in the building) but are on fixed incomes. I came up with 3 simple cards…
I needed a birthday card for an 85 year old gentleman. I thought it would be fun to use the Loads of Love set to see what I could come up with. I stamped the truck and packages on watercolor paper.

Here is the second card using the Sweet Stems image. Each image is stamped with Palette Noir Black and then cut and mounted on a scallop oval. Different colored Stickles and glitter were used to color the petals. This one used a Turquoise Stickles. I paired it with a piece of Flowers for You DS paper.
