Once again I made a very CAS design and then colored in the Calla Lilies from Artsystamper which by the way was a freebie Png image from her as a member of her FB gallery page. The sentiment is one I stamped the regular way with an acrylic sentiment stamp, my Misti and some Jet Black Amalgam Ink from Gina K. Designs. The sentiment is from the Papertrey Ink Savior Inspired stamp set.
The second card background used was a photo I took years ago of a satin apron as I did not have much pattern paper and I thought it was so pretty. So I took that photo and enhanced it a bit and that was the background I used for this card. Once again I used the Calla Lilies from Artsystamper.
On both cards I colored the Calla Lilies with my Bic and Sharpie pens. The sentiment on this last card is from a Jillian Vance Design set called Simply Said: Sympathy. And, again I used the GKD Jet Black ink to stamp it. I went with just a hint of yellow here and there so that it would look more like the more familiar white Calla Lilies I usually see.
Well I cleaned as much as I wanted to do and now it is just a wait and see if our company can arrive or not. Snow and strong winds may prevent them coming and also for us to travel to help our grandson Jack celebrate his second birthday. I sure hope we can make it but I guess if not we might have to shoot for another day to celebrate. It is also one of our son-in-law's birthdays too. So we usually do a celebration for both then. So time will tell if it all goes as originally planned. I hope all of you have a great weekend and thanks for coming by to visit my blog and for all the wonderful comments.
God bless,
Verna

Lovely cards. I really like the satin picture background. Very clever.
I hope the weather doesn't stop the party and that y'all can have a good time. [Bunny]
Verna, both cards are lovely and your backgrounds are very creative and crafty. I really love them both. Hope you stay safe in the nasty weather that's coming your way.
Wonderful handmade digital backgrounds! Both cards look great. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and your weekend plans work out. Stay warm and safe.
You always amaze me, Verna. Converting backgrounds into cards for future use is an awesome time saver! These are both so gorgeous. One has colors that fade into each other and the second has rich and decadent folds. I hope you will be safe in all the wintry weather you are having. With best wishes always :*
What fabulous digital backgrounds you have created Verna - well done, and extremely well used on these stunning cards

Wow! These backgrounds are amazing! Love the satin folds! So very clever, Verna! Beautiful sympathy card, especially. Hope your plans come to fruition and you're not stuck for the weekend.
Your talent with digital stamps is way over my head. These are so creative and simply a fantastic way to make a quick card. Sure hope that the weather cooperates for you and your company. I am waiting for my son to arrive tomorrow and they will be dealing with the same weather. Best wishes!
Wow, you are really nailing this digi technique. I am envious, your results are amazing. Both cards are just beautiful, how clever to take a photo and use it as a background!
Look at you with your original digi backgrounds! Good job!
I guess some people are still having winter. We haven’t really had winter at all, and I have daffodils with buds. It is absolutely unusually warm, and we have had several warm winters in a row now. I kindof miss the snow, although I know that you will be missing your family if you can’t travel.
So clever, Verna! Both ideas are brilliant! I'll have to head over to FB for that freebie and I hope I'm not too late. I don't spend much time on FB. Both cards are gorgeous!
What a wonderful idea,Verna. Both cards are beautiful.
Oh, my word, you made your own digital backgrounds! Fabulous and beautiful, Verna! I hope everything works out for your plans. Better to be safe than sorry, and a clean house is nice even when you're just home alone.
Pretty cards, and brilliant of you to photograph or backgrounds! Praying you get to see your family :o)
Now that's a creative thing to do and such a good idea to have the backgrounds to hand Verna x. Both cards are beautiful x.
I so hope the weather held up for you and the family and your plans x
Wild weather in Scotland today with a nasty storm x
Gorgeous card Verna, the simple sponged background is perfect.
I have never thought about taking pictures and using them as digital backgrounds. So clever! Both of your cards are beautiful!
Both of your cards are beautiful. I especially love the sentiment on the first one. The second with the Satin background is fabulous. That was a brilliant idea to use the Satin Apron picture to use for it.
Hard to imagine the weather you're having as it's like spring here except a bit cooler. Very creative backgrounds for your lovely cards! I'm never happy with my photos, so wouldn't work for me.
Great cards with that digi image once again! I love your clever idea of using a photo of a satin apron for the background of the 2nd card! Genius idea!
These are gorgeous..love the satin background!
That 2nd card with the photo of satin and stamping worked beautifully!
These are fantastic and what a great idea to make your own digital backgrounds! Beautiful!
