I hope you all have been enjoying our week. Neat and Tangled really pampered me, providing with their wonderful stamp sets. Due to the weather my package was a little late. So I just completed this card in hopes of participated at the end.
I created the background using the Clouds stamp set and a lot of masking. The sentiment from that same set was stamped on the cloud on the Just Thinking of You stamp set.
This card is a great reminder to me that when things are tough that there is always something good hiding in it. Sometimes, I focus on the dark and not the light. It is so easy to get wrapped up in the trouble and forget to look around at all the people that lift you up in encouragement.
Neat and Tangled has been a great example of that silver lining. They did an awesome job this week with their talented design team. Especially, Miriam Prantner that orchestrated this whole collaboration. Thank you Neat and Tangled.
Please enjoy this video.
Thanks to Iliana! It really was our pleasure to team up with My Sweet Petunia, and I think it showed in the projects and videos this week! Don't forget that you have until the end of the day to leave comments here and at the My Sweet Petunia blog to be in the running for the prizes - $100 to the N&T store and a MISTI!
Great card, Iliana! This was a great collab. Well done, everyone!

ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed this collaboration. I did get a bit confused as to where and if I posted comments. But loved all the cards and of course
ReplyDelete"MISTI".
A beautiful reminder to us all. Even though your supplies arrived late, you still created a magnificent card. The sentiment was perfect.
ReplyDeleteThis was a fun set to see used in a new way on a card, as every set has been this week. It has been fun seeing how the Neat and Tangled stamps sets, which are already well thought out, become even more useful when paired with the MISTI. Thank you for the fun weekď
ReplyDeletevery cute!
ReplyDeleteYour Mini Misti is awesome. It has so many useful features, and I think it would work well in my tiny studio with limited workspace. Great card tips. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAwesome card, great video, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the MISTI makes it a lot easier to create a masked background. Thanks for the video!
ReplyDeleteSTUNNING card and sentiment. The Misti certainly ensures great stamping.
ReplyDeleteLove all these clouds! Great masking!
ReplyDeleteGreat card. I have enjoyed this collaboration a lot.
ReplyDeleteLovely video Iliana! What a fun filled week with tons of inspiration and demonstrating the versatility of the MISTI! Thank you girlie:)
ReplyDeleteIts an amazing card and she did so well with all that masking!! Its was a fantastic week and shows me I really do need a MISTI. Let the saving begin!!!!
ReplyDeleteClever use of the stamp! Thanks for the inspiration throughout the week!
ReplyDeleteNice work with all that masking! Great card!
ReplyDeleteLove how easy the MISTI makes all the masking work out perfectly!! I usually have so much trouble with it, and it takes me forever. I have to get my hands on one somehow! And one of the embellishment tools! I'm forever dropping those things!!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL card Iliana!!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your soft shade and shimmering silver, a perfect combo for the sentiment, LOVE your striped base and cloud-filled panel too!!
THANK YOU for sharing your inky inspiration and video, it was great watching the MISTI in action with a lot of masking :)
What a sweet card! I just looked at every card in the gallery using this Cloud set and they are all just darling. Must go watch the video now!
ReplyDeleteIliana this is so sweet ... that is a whole lot of masking - worth every bit of it, in the end!
ReplyDelete=]
Awesome card! Thanks for sharing your time, talents, and inspiration with us.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great week of inspiration and tutorials on the MISTI! I sure need one to maximize my N&T stamps/creativity!
ReplyDeleteall that masking makes my brain hurt!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great card and the sentiment is something I need to keep in mind--I agree with you that it's so easy to focus on the negative! What a great tip in the video about using the repositionable labels for masking! The MISTI looks like a great helper :)
ReplyDeleteGreat card - love the background!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun week and love your card. Thanks for the video.
ReplyDeleteIt has been a rough week so I really appreciate the sentiment on this card.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking card! Love the background!
ReplyDeleteit's perfect in my opinion ;-)
ReplyDeleteLike I said on the other site I really liked the card and the sentiment is great.It's also so true. When the day is crappy, the silver lining is tomorrow will be better. I always feel that way. It's raining and its gray and cloudy out. Depressing, right? Tomorrow will be nice and sunny out and if it's not, then the next day. This looks like the kind of card I would make. I even have a tiny cloud punch that someone at a craft fair that I was doing just gave to me! Those tiny clouds would be cute on here, and if it was up to me, the clouds would be different colors, so I would make them that way. Can't you just see sunny, yellow clouds? Orange and green ones too! I may have to do a card just like that! I can use your sentiment even though I don't have the stamp. All my clouds will have silver linings. I'm going to save your card so I can make one kind of like it. I hope you don't mind.
ReplyDeleteI love that you gave the cloud a silver lining! We always have to remember this is so true!
ReplyDeleteMisti looks amazing. And neat and tangled stamps are so unque
ReplyDeleteCommented on Iliana's blog but will also comment here. That sentiment is delightful and perfect for your stamped background. Appreciate your masking tip!
ReplyDeleteLovely card! I love the sentiment!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat sentiment says it all!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun way using MISTI!
ReplyDeleteLoved this collab. Thanks for all the inspiration.
