Good Evening!

I have been very bad about sharing a lot of cards that I have made over the last few months.  I've focused more on playing with techniques, stenciling and just stamping and coloring than pulling everything into finished cards a lot.  Then in June I spent 10 days dog sitting for our son and managed to put some together but still never posted them anywhere.  Some of them have been sent off to recipients at least.  Sometimes you just got to embrace a slower pace and process.  Am I right?  

This card I made back in March (actually finished this one all at once) for our youngest son and girlfriend.  They moved in January to Richmond, Virginia and rented a 100+ year old home in the ChurchHill district.  I thought this Victorian style house stamp from the Happy Place set, by Catherine Pooler, was perfect.   I used the Negative Ink Layering technique by Jennifer McGuire for this card.  I did add a little "positive" inking, the black dog to be their dog, Jack.  I really love the way this turned out. The stencil on the background is "In the Square" by Catherine Pooler Designs and I used Catherine Pooler inks - Fiesta Blue, Mardi Gras and Something Borrowed.

Thank you for stopping by for a visit.  Come back soon!

Sweet Home Blessings!
