Hi! I didn't get a chance to post yesterday about my Valentine pendant. She is complete finally - nothing kept simple here! I went with Kumihimo cording and some chain for the necklace cording. I've decided that this one will just be a pendant necklace - no pin back.

I enjoyed making her but I'm glad she's finished! Hope you like her. (My granddaughter says the faces kind of freak her out - LOL- maybe that's why I like them?)
Today I've been working on the two cards I started last week. I stamped out some of the Santoro stamp images and colored two of them. If you remember, I used Prisma color pencils. I finished the images up with Copic markers and a little glitter. I used die cutters to create a frame shape on one and a scalloped oval frame shape on the other - both are raised from the surface of the card base by matching foam shapes - I think they came out pretty well. The cards still need to have a sentiment added and the pink card needs more embellishment too. The green one with a frame speaks for it's self - but there may be an opening sentiment added to the front. See what you think:
 |
| Pink - Thinking of you... |
 |
| Green - Wish you were here... |
 |
| Pink is 4.75" square and green is 5X7 |
I hope that everyone is having a good Martin Luther King day here in the states. It seems long ago that he captured the hearts and minds of the nation - may we all capture his dream and find peace together.
Until next post - be well and take care - K
