SITTING HERE-THINKING OF YOU

Just a sweet thinking of you kind of card for a special friend who unexpectedly lost her brother to the horrible cancer disease.  I would rather send her something that doesn't say "sympathy". She's not that kinda gal!

This Sitting Here stamp set has always been an enigma to me. I love it, but was never really comfortable how to use it! She is a cat lover & has one of her own, so I wanted to feature the cat sitting serenely on the bench.  I think I like the white space here. I don't like to leave too much, but I think it works here.

I pulled out a couple of our recently retired colors for this one-Wisteria Wonder & Perfect Plum.  We have some beautiful new purples in our new color collections, but I am slowly building up my supply of new colors. Haven't gotten to the purples yet!

I used the Stampin' Blends to color all the details here. Talk about amazing! I love them! Otherwise, all the images come from the Sitting Here stamp set.

Note: Ha! So i didn't notice when I took the picture that the Candy Dot had moved off-center! Not time for retake! Just "imagine" it in the center of the little pillow there!!! lol

So I really wanted to try out some of my new goodies!!! Here's a new stamp set, which will be available to you in just about a week!!! It's called            Sitiing There! I love the idea of being able to sit out on a porch swing in the summer. Now bear in mind I don't have one, but I do love the idea! lol  I love the summer so.  Warmth & sun! 

The little kitty is adorable! Yes, there's a dog too!!! lol  And tons of little accessories for a porch swing.  The sayings are nice too!!!

Since we are bound by the colors here, I couldn't use any new In-Colors to show you, but there is 1 more thing besides the stamp set.  Can u see it? Yup, the new Washi Tape!! Lovin' that stuff!!!!!!

So enjoy this little preview! See ya next week!

Happy Stampin'!!!
