Sheer Perfection Sympathy

Here’s what you need to stock up on right now:

• 2013-15 InColor items:  Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, and Strawberry Slush will all retire at the end of May, and ink refills and card stock will sell out quickly. If you love them and want to be sure you can keep using them, stock up!
• Self-adhesive embellishments:  especially if you live in Arizona you should lay in a supply to get you through the summer.  My first summer here I found that the heat baked the adhesive to the backing sheets during shipping.  Rhinestones, Pearls, Candy Dots and even Glue Dots are best purchased before the hot weather really sets in.
• Anything else you’ve been debating about:  really, free shipping is a 10%-off sale (more if you live in Arizona, since we pay sales tax on shipping)!  Shop my online store now.

A friend’s mother passed away last week, so I made this card for her:

The card features the beautiful Sheer Perfection Designer Vellum from Sale-A-Bration, layered on Brushed Silver card stock.  I used Scotch Vellum Adhesive to attach it, which is the only thing I’ve found not to show through the vellum.  I stamped the sentiment from the retired Simply Sketched set in StazOn Jet Black ink, and tied a length of Silver Satin ribbon around the panel before attaching it to a Basic Gray card base.  A panel of Smoky Slate inside was light enough to write on without being as jarring as a Whisper White panel would have been.

Well, we’ve pushed back my kitchen remodel again, so I get to host classes this month, including an evening session in Scottsdale!  Hope you’ll come stamp with me!
