Waffleflower April Release Blog Hop

5 Apr

Good morning!  I am so excited to be a stop on the hop celebrating the gorgeous April release from Waffleflower Stamps!  Today I’m sharing a card using the Rainbow Bridge products from the release!  Pet sympathy cards are never easy cards to make but this is a beautiful set and a comforting way to send love to a friend who’s missing their furry friend.

Rainbow Bridge by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Waffleflower

This was also a great project for using up lots of paper scraps that I’ve saved for years.  As a result, unfortunately, I’m not able to share the exact cardstocks I used for the rainbow but it is a general mix of cardstock from Simon Says Stamp, MFT, Bazzill, and Hero Arts!  To start I masked off the bottom and top of a panel of white cardstock and then blended tumbled glass, peacock feathers, mermaid lagoon, and blueprint sketch distress oxide ink into the middle.  I splattered it with water and then spritzed it with shimmer spray several times.  I peeled off the masking tape and let it dry.

Rainbow Bridge by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Waffleflower

Meanwhile I die-cut the Rainbow Bridge frame from welsh gold glitter cardstock.  Then I die-cut the rest of the rainbow from a variety of colored cardstock scraps.  Once my background panel was totally dry I stamped the sentiment from Rainbow Bridge on the bottom of the panel with versamark and heat-embossed it with gold embossing powder.  Finally i used liquid adhesive to adhere the Rainbow Bridge frame and rainbow to the shimmery blended panel.

And that’s it! I hope you enjoyed my card and it gives you some inspiration for those hard-to-create situations. 🙂

To celebrate the release, Waffle Flower is giving away $25 gift certificates to THREE lucky winners. You can leave comment on my blog and along the hop by 11:59pm ET on April 7th, 2019 for your chances to win. Winners will be chosen at random from the comments left on any of the posts on this blog hop and will be announced on the Waffle Flower blog on April 11th, 2019.  You should have arrived from Keeway and and my super talented friend, Emily, is your next stop!

Thanks so much for visiting and have an amazing day!

    One of the things I love most about Waffle Flower is their unique products. The Rainbow Bridge is a great example of your outside-of-the-box creativity.

    this is a sensitive way to send sympathy at
    the loss of a fur baby. The neighbor is
    going to lose her friend soon and I’ve been
    trying to come up with a card to send her.
    I’ve found the perfect way. thanks for
    sharing. txmlhl(at)yahoo(dot)com

    So many people consider their pets as part of their family and their loss is very emotional. A card for that occasion is very thoughtful.

❤️❤️❤️ My friend @lstein0 is a miracle worker! Rogue is very much NOT a cuddly lap cat. She’s happy to come to you when she wants attention but she never wants to lay next to us. Until she discovered the soft and comfy blanket Lisa crocheted for me...and she loves it enough that she’s willing to share it with me and actually rest her head on my leg! 😱😱😱 Also pictured, a VERY jealous Gambit as that is usually where he lays. 😂 #tortiesofinstagram #torties
