I had such a nice day in Manhattan yesterday! I took the 10:14AM train in and headed straight to The Ink Pad to see Anna and Jane! Oh how I have missed them! We got all caught up over lunch, we had Dirty Bird! Superdelicious! Around 2:30 I headed up to 77th Street to meet my friend Ella. She was running late so we only had a short time before she had to leave again so I’m going to go back in next Saturday and see her. After that I went to a coffee shop on 66th between 1st and 2nd called Java Girl. They had no Wi-Fi and no plugs! Talk about throwback! The coffee was really good and there were teenagers playing cards! It was really like a trip back in time! LOL! Kim and I had coffee and then headed back to her apartment to let out her neighbors dog that she is watching. From there we went to a local pizza place and had dinner. I headed back to Penn Station around 9:30 and got the 10:11 home. They have an App now where you can buy your ticket and show it on your phone! YAY! No more rushing to get to the ticket machine! When I got home I sat down and made my card for today. Renee has a crop at the store today so I will get to see my ladies and after work I have a birthday party to go to! 😀
The card that I have for you today is for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge…
I wanted to play around with some of the new Hero Holiday Sets but I’m not quite ready for Christmas cards! The card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. My square in the middle is a piece of the same and it’s adhered to the base with E-Z Runner and Fun Foam. Across the lower part is a piece of Gold Mirror Card and I tapered the ends to match the sketch. My two labels are from the Hero Arts Holiday Messages and Frames Photopolymer Stamp Set. I heat embossed the large label in Hero Arts Copper Embossing Powder onto Black 110lb and the smaller on onto Vellum with Hero Arts Platinum Embossing Powder. They are bothe cut out with the Hero Arts Holiday Tags Frame Cuts. My greeting is from the Many Everyday Messages Photopolymer Stamp Set and is heat embossed in Hero Arts White Embossing Powder. The large label is adhered to the card with E-Z Runner and a little more Fun Foam and the small label with Kool-Tak Clear Foam Tape. A health dose of Pretty Pink Posh Gold, Rose Gold, Platinum and Sparkling Clear Sequins on the white panel really makes the card shine! I wanted to see how the mixed metallics looked together and I really like it! Also love when I can use a Holiday Set from something other than the Holidays! I hope that you like my card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge! Thanks for stopping by today! I wish you all a very happy Saturday! 🙂
