Just Because …

It was my original intention to make Valentine’s Day cards, but I think they are going to be “Just Because” cards instead – cards to drop in the mail or tuck into backpacks with encouraging messages.

The images on both cards were colored with Prismacolor pencils and odorless mineral spirits. The sentiments on both were attached to the cards with foam mounting tape.

I used Liquid Glass to attach the googly eyes, which was the most time consuming element of this card making session. I would have sworn I had 10 thumbs for the number of times the little buggers got away from me.

I went around the perimeter of both stamped images with a My Legacy Writer to give them a little added definition against their yellow mats. A sponge dauber with a little blue ink was used to define the punched caption on the top card.

  Materials & Tools: White Daisy, Sunny Yellow, and Orange cardstock; Tinkerin’ paper packet; Black and Dutch Blue ink pads; Stampendous Love Robotz stamp set; Brads and googly eyes from my stash; Prismacolor colored pencils; Gamsol odorless mineral spirits; Blending stumps; 1 and 1-1/4 inch circle punches; Black My Legacy Writer; Liquid Glass; EK Success Caption punch; 3M foam mounting tape.

Ah! Superbowl Sunday. That doesn’t mean much to me. And, as the Vikings aren’t playing, I don’t suspect the game will be too much of a disruption in my household. All things considered, that is a good thing. LOL. While the details haven’t been established yet, I’m looking forward to spending some time with my grandsons today, too.

Last night was a quiet evening at home with Marv winning the best out of three in cribbage. No surprise.

I hope your weekend is going well. Enjoy Sunday! Later…
