I am late in sharing this card with you; I intended to post it several weeks ago, after I showed you this card. I know it would be faster to walk next door to hand it to our neighbor, whose birthday is tomorrow, but instead I affixed the new, sparkly USPS Let’s Celebrate stamp and sent the card several counties over to be sorted and sent back here to be delivered, hopefully on time. Call me old fashioned, but I still love to find something personal in the mailbox!
I hope no stamp campers cringe when they see the sponges in the project box. I think sponging is an essential skill for a stamper — the best results are achieved with a patient, gentle application of ink. Don’t forget to use a tissue or cotton ball to rub the ink off embossed areas or, in this case, foil.
Part of the appeal on this card is the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper, with just that little touch of gold, and the Metallic Baker’s Twine & Sequins Combo Pack, also with a tiny bit of gold. Both were 2020 Sale-A-Bration offerings and did not last through the entire SAB season. The lesson to be learned is to carefully plan your SAB benefits so you are not disappointed if (when) they are depleted!
Thank you, Dena Renkow, for the inspiration for this card! I thought it was perfect!
