More Bordered Sentiments

Update (8/16/16):  I was really very tickled that my card was closed to be "In the Mailbox" over at Cards In Envy challenge blog.  This is a fun challenge for mailable cards, and I have really been enjoying it!  Thank you!



Update (8/10/16): I was so pleased that my card was chosen to be part of the TOP THREE at the ModSquad Challenge blog this week!  Thank you!


Hi everyone! I have had a busy week with many doctor visits with my kids and little to no cardmaking.  Luckily, everyone is well again, and hopefully we will be all back to normal.

When I saw that the ModSquad challenge was going to be Bordered Sentiments, and since I just did some cards with this technique last week, I decided to change the technique up a little bit.

(Click on photo for larger image.)

All I did was use my Tim Holtz ruler and paper piercer to add piercing lines inside the border. I think it is a fun addition to a CAS card!

Supplies: Gina K Made with Love and Whimsical Spring stamp sets, Memento Jet black inkpad and marker, ruler, piercing tool, alcohol markers, white gel pen.

I would love to participate in the following challenge:

I love the diagonal sentiment panel and the piercing is just enough to make it stand out against the gorgeous colorful background! Stay well!

What a cute, cute card. Haven't seen it on an angle before. This is a one of my favourite techniques I've seen done; just have to get around to doing it myself. Thanks for the inspiration.

Glad to hear the kids are doing better now, and hopefully you can get in more creative time :) Love the piercing you did to frame the sentiment, pretty stamping and coloring!

Hi, I noticed that you used a stamp set from GKD. that qualifies you for two changes to win. I am putting you in as I caught it this time. Just add MSC in front of your name next time so you don't miss out. Instructions are on the blog.

Oh, Heidi, what a gorgeous card, and I love the butterflies. And what a fabulous way to add the sentiment on an angle. Don't you just love that Tim Holtz ruler? Beautifully done, and I see it qualifies for two chances to win in the challenge! Hugs!
