Friday Flashback: All Adorned

It's Time Warp Tuesday!  Continuing on with my quest to make cards with every stamp set I own, today's set is All Adorned.  It was a Sale-a-Bration set a few years ago and to be honest that's the only reason why I own it.  The sentiments are okay, but I don't much care for the other stamps that you're supposed to use two-step stamping style to build designs...they just don't line up right for me with this particular set.  See the second card:

Also now I believe it when SU! said the Purple Posy ink kept drying darker/a different color than the cardstock, because they do not look the same on that card either.  I don't like that one at all, but I do like the card on the left--remember when I did the set of cards for Ain't Love Grand?  I had all these skinny strips of patterned paper left so I used five of them for the Best Ever card here.

I pulled out the Love Blossoms stack to make this pair of heart-y cards, and that's all she wrote for this stamp set.

Have a great day, peeps!

Sympathy for Cleo

I was talking to my dad this weekend and he said this has not been a good year for dogs.  First my Vader died in February, my friend Amber's senior dog died a few weeks ago, and a week ago my almost-sister and her husband had to put down their dog because of kidney or liver problems.  Then on Friday my sister-in-law got home to discover that their dog Cleo had been attacked by another dog--no idea how the other dog got in their backyard, but she rushed Cleo to the animal hospital immediately. Sadly, the damage was too extensive and she died on Friday night.  Poor Cleo was a 13-year-old dog with just 3 legs.  I feel so badly for my SIL and brother.  And of course Cleo.

Hey, I used the dog stamp instead of just the punch.  I watercolored the dog in about the same color that Cleo was (though paper Cleo has four legs instead of three).  I know she frequently wore a purple color because that's SIL's favorite color, so that's how I chose Highland Heather.  Smoky Slate just seemed to go with the other two colors.

I used the sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch:

The elements in the corner of the sketch reminded me of All Adorned, which was a later Sale-a-Bration offiering this year.

I'm also entering this at Just Add Ink:

I hate making sympathy cards, and I'd much rather do it when I don't need one rather than having to make one for a specific thing.

Poor little Cleo.
