11/25/21 Top Pick of the Week at The Outlawz Twist Thursday Challenge!
Hi friends! Happy Monday! I’ll be leaving later this morning to see my cardiologist for a follow-up visit and to get another echocardiogram to see if my ejection fraction has improved since having the heart attack in August. The ejection fraction is a measurement showing how much blood the heart pumps, so wish me luck… it was low back in August so I’m praying it has improved. UPDATE: My ejection fraction has returned to normal, and my overall cardiac function is normal! AND our little rescue kitten, Fogg, is still doing great! Good news all the way around! ;) Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I have one more card to share that I’ve created for The Outlawz Challenges. I feel really good to have been able to play in some of their challenges this month. ;) I’m entering this card into The Outlawz Twisted Thursday Challenge and this is Sponsor Appreciation Week 3, Anything Goes with optional twist of Hot or Cold (using two hot or two cold colors). Technically, I’m not playing the twist as I’ve used one hot and one cold color on my mini slimline Christmas card.
I cut a mini slimline card base and a layering panel from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock along with a layering panel from CutCardStock Basis Red cardstock using theWaffle Flower Mini Slimline Layers die set. I stamped the whimsical poinsettia background in red and green ink using the STAMPlorations Layered Poinsettias stamp set. I stamped the outlines in Versamark and heat embossed them in Ranger super fine detail gold embossing powder. I mixed gold acrylic paint with a tiny bit of water and splattered it with a fan brush over the background. I added a sentiment created with the Holiday Sentiments Series 2 Glimmer hot foil plate & die set and some gold pearls to finish the front.
I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock along with a layering panel from CutCardStock Basis Red cardstock using the Waffle Flower Mini Slimline Layers dies and adhered them together, and then affixed a STAMPlorations Merry Everything Clear Sticker.
And one more look… so loving how this turned out! I haven’t seen a layered stamp set from STAMPlorations yet that I haven’t just loved!
