Flower For Katie

CLEAR DOLLAR STAMPS
CELEBRATE LIFE
BLOG HOP

In Honor of Katie Renz


The Clear Dollar Stamps Design Team decided to honor Katie with a blog hop casing her cards.

A little recap for those of you who may not know....Katie passed away (not yet 40) earlier this month from a year long battle with a rare stomach cancer. She is survived by her three young children and husband.

KATIE'S CARD

MY CASE
I was inspired by the die on Katie's card. I made mine a shape card. I used the same stamp set BLOOMING BOUQUET from CLEAR DOLLAR STAMPS.
For my sentiment I used A GODLY MOTHER.

RECIPE:
Stamps/Images: Blooming Bouquet, A Godly Mother (Clear Dollar Stamps)
Cardstock/Papers:Cottonball White (Clear Dollar Stamps)
Inks/Markers: Memento Tuxedo Black (from Clear Dollar Stamps), Tropical Mist, Spring Leaf, Pucker Up Palette Ink Pads (Clear Dollar Stamps)
Accents/Tools:Tim Holtz Blender Tool, Spellbinders Curved Rectangles, Cuttlebug
Techniques:Sponging

Love you Katie. I am thankful to have know you! MWAH.

Both of your cards are wonderful. I felt like the sentiment you used on your card spoke directly to Katie. I love your inking techniques and plan to come back to read your tutorials. What a beautiful way to celebrate someone's life. I will pray for her family.
