I have been a bad blogger, getting caught up in the Olympics and other things this week! I love watching the Olympics and seeing the athletes, their stories and triumphs! So my apologies for being absent from Blogville.
Tonight's card is simple, keeping with the challenge. I simply stamped my sentiment on pattern paper and used a Nestie to trim it out, adding some thin layers that I hand trimmed to the shape. For the blue background I used a Cuttlebug Folder to emboss the pattern, adding some Ivory Pigment Ink with my baby brayer to raised portions, just a soft layer of color and not evenly inked either. I added a blue silk bow, the blue was a little brighter than my paper to begin with. I used a Copic Marker (E00) to tone it down a bit.
When I added the sentiment panel, I gently curved it using my finger and rolling it slightly. To keep it curled and adhere it at the same time I used a 3D Silicone glue. Finished card is an A2.

Nice to see you're still with us - been wondering what you've been up to this week! I was afraid you'd had a breakdown after last Saturday! Is this sympathy card for your sanity after a day with the Kats?! ;-)
