More cards to benefit Alzheimer's

As I mentioned in a previous post, Jen Tapler is collecting cards to auction off and she will donate the money to Alzheimer's. Since my dad was recently diagnosed I sent in a card. Well, I was playing around and made four cards that go together as a set and sent those off today as well. I actually CASE'd Andrea Walford, her card is infinitely better looking than mine, but I tried.... :)

I pulled out my Fun and Fast Notes set. I rarely use it. But when I saw Andrea's card it was the closest set I had to recreate her card. All the cards are on a Basic Gray base, use white eyelets, watercolor paper for the images and white ribbon from the Dress Up set. For the focal point used a chipboard frame, Whisper White Craft Ink, Heat & Stick powder and Dazzling Diamonds. Behind the chipboard frame is a piece of vellum that I stamped the sentiment on to. The sentiments are from the All Holidays set. An additional embellishment is a scalloped edge in Whisper White.The first card uses retired patterned paper and I can't remember what it's called... The other card use paper from the Level 1 Hostess Patterned Paper package from last year. I used various SU markers and a tiny paintbrush to color the images.

There's still time to enter a card and win on Jen Tapler's blog. Deadline is April 3.

Thanks for stopping by! Now go make that card!

  2. These are all so cute! Love how you have framed the sentiment and then have the main image cut out and placed on the frame. Wonderful set.
