Emerson quotes card sets...

Good morning! How was your Valentine’s Day?? Mine was nice, we took the kids down to eat pizza/walk on the beach and get ice cream. Was a nice family night.

Anywho, I have some cards to share, as a friend of mine contact me last weekend to see if she could order a set of cards from me. They’ll be a gift for a gal in her online moms group - HOW SWEET! She wanted a set of 12 cards for the friend, and 1 to give to her along with the set - 13 cards total. She wanted them all to have specific quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson (LOVE!) And so far, I’ve created 9 of the 13.

My strategy in creating them is to make 4 sets of 3 like cards and then I'll make a uniquely designed card for her to give the friend. Today I’ll be sharing 3 of them with you :).

As you can see, I've been working with Distress Inks here. Having some blendy fun! Also I've (clear) heat embossed some Hero Arts stamps onto white (Neenah) cardstock and inked/misted over them. Fun stuff right here. Of course, I had to incorporate Lawn Fawn Alphas (I've used Jessie's ABCs, Sally's ABCs & Smitty's ABCs between the three) and also on one of the cards I threw in some leaves from their Blissful Botanical collection, and on another, I added birdies from the Fly Free and bannerific sets. The mist is Perfect Pearls. Loving this mist!!

Anyway, that's my crafty share for the day. I hope you have a good one & see you tomorrow with 3 more cards :)
