Just a note . . .

Today I have used the Mum & Sentiment digital stamp set by KLM Digital Designs, one of our generous sponsors this fortnight.  My CAS card is "just a note" to remind someone special that we're thinking of them.  Given the troubling times we're experiencing all over the world at the moment, I think I will be making a bundle more, a perfect way to share some love and to try some different marker blends.



I opened the Mum & Sentiment digital stamp in Silhouette Studio, sized and rotated to fit on a 5" x 7" card base.  The sentiment comes in the digital stamp set and it's such a fresh font.  I printed the card front panel on X-Press It blending card, heat set and coloured with Copic markers.  I trimmed the panel to size and adhere to a 5" x 7" card base.

It's hard to photograph purple shades ... I don't know if I'm the
only one, but they always seem to look blue in my photos.
In "real life" the petals are light mauve to deep purple shades.


I created a sentiment panel to put inside the card (font details below), printed and trimmed to size.  I trimmed another panel 4mm larger from smooth white cardstock and used the BV04 Copic marker to colour the outer edges to make a contrasting matting panel.  I used liquid adhesive to adhere the matting and sentiment panels inside.
