Chair-ished

My dad recently came over and did some plumbing work at our house. While a formal thank-you never seems to be necessary with the parentals, I think it's still nice to offer a gesture of appreciation. So I made this card using one of my new Papertrey sets. It's a little difficult to see but the cardstock I used to stamp my sentiment on is actually a scrap that I had used to catch Glimmer Mist overspray. The scrap got just a light dusting of sparkle, which went with this card perfectly.



I also did something that I rarely ever do. I "finished" the inside of the card, as well. It just seemed too ... blah ... to leave only a sentiment on the inside.

Happy Father's Day

I intended to post this card yesterday, but I danced my time away and then completely forgot. While not indicative from the outside, I made this card for Father's Day using some of my new Tattered Angels products. I don't know if I ever mentioned that I went to a Glimmer Mist class at the Great American Scrapbook Convention, but I did and I absolutely fell in love with all things Tattered Angels. Honestly, it was hard to stop myself.

For this one-layer card, I used glimmer screens with the mist. It's difficult to see one of the screens in this photo, but if you look closely at the top right corner of the card, you can see a little of the Glacier scroll peaking through. The real, true shimmer of the card is quite difficult to capture on camera, but hopefully there's enough shimmeriness (yes, I just made that up) to give you the idea.
