CTMH Sympathy card

Hello everyone, boy I am so far behind on posting on my blog.  Life has just been crazy around here, I do manage to get a card done here and then but just haven't posted them on my blog.
So here is a card I made using some of the papers that I got in my Close to my Heart consultant kit.  I got the Pemberley Workshop on the go kit as an add on and I love the papers, inks and stamps that came in this kit.

The stamp is one of the stamps that come in the Pemberley Workshop kit.  I stamped it tone on tone with the Indian Corn blue ink pad then hand cut it out. I stamped and cut it twice so I could pop dot it to give it some dimension.  All the papers are from the Pemberly Kit, love the blues and browns.  I cut the bottom border using the Elegant Edges cartridge then covered it with Crackle Accents.   The "with sympathy" I cut using the Jasmine cartridge.  It is always nice to have a few sympathy cards on hand because it seems so hard to make them when you actually need them.
Here is a closer look at the border cut.

I added a few red pearls to the center of the flower images on the border.

Thanks so much for stopping by and remember there is just a few days left to get in on the CTMH promotion this month where you get the Art Philosophy cartridge for free.  It is such an amazing cartridge and has no many different cuts on it.  For the month of March if you sign up as a consultant for get the consultant kit for $99 and the Art Philosophy cartridge pack for FREE not only do you get the cartridge but you also get 3 sets of coordinating stamps, it is a great deal almost $300 worth of products for $99.  The sweet part of this is that you are not pressured to sell anything you can just sign up to get the deal for yourself and not have to keep up a quota.  If you are still on the fence about getting this cartridge now is the time to go for it, you will not be disappointed, the consultant kit is AWESOME, it is like Christmas when you open your box.  Check out all you get in your kit HERE.

You Rock Card

This is a fun card.  I cut the guitar and "you rock" from Stamping cartridge.  I cut very very thin strips of the silver paper to use as the guitar strings and Cuttlebugged the the back silver and the corners with the Argyle folder.  The corners are from Jasmine, about the only thing I use this cartridge for, may have to pull it out and look at it again.  The guitar front I used a Fiskars texture plate for the pattern.

The interesting part of this card is that the background paper is a Kleenex box that I thought was too useful for the trash.  Fits well here.   Now watch those kleenex boxes for future use.
