With Sympathy

Here's another card that I'm sharing that we made on Saturday morning.  It seems that I tend to make lots and lots of birthday cards- which is great, but I need to make more sympathy cards.  Knowing this, I cut enough pieces to make a few extra cards for myself.  Glad I did that. Sending hand made sympathy cards are best to give during those horrible/difficult times.
We stamped the Flower image twice onto a pre-cut Chalk Talk framelit and then sponged the clouds using Coastal Cabana ink, a sponge dauber and a scallop circle shaped piece of vellum.  There is another flower image and clouds on the inside of the card as well.
To finish off the flower image, we added some Sliver Sparkle Dazzling Details to the pedals of the flowers. Serene Silhouettes is one of my favorite "go to" stamp set from last years catalog. So many different occasions can be made with this one stamp set.
RECIPE:
STAMPS:Serene Silhouettes, Loving Thoughts and Papillon Potpourri
INK: Smoky Slate, Coastal Cabana and Versamark
PAPER: Smoky Slate, Coastal Cabana, Whisper White and Eastern Elegance DSP
ACCESSORIES: Fancy Fan embossing folder, Chalk Talk Framelits, Slit punch, White embossing powder, Bitty Butterfly punch, paper piercing tool, mat and Essentials pack, sponge dauber, 1 3/4" scallop circle punch, Sliver Sparkle Dazzling Details and White ribbon.

Happy Monday!

Impressions a Bloom for Sunday Stamps!

 Happy Sunday!  Right now I am knee deep in making decorations for my daughter's upcoming baby shower next weekend and the theme is Winnie the Pooh! lol :)  I am going to be a grandma for the first time and all I can say is that I am really is exciting! I forced myself to clear off my stamping table (well actually just push stuff away) and created a floral card for this weeks new challenge at Sunday Stamps!  The Impressions  a Bloom Bundle is one of my newest favorite sets and I really have not had time to create with all of the very many different ways you can with this set.  Here's my 2nd go. Soft pastel colors? Count me in!  And these petals exemplify the softness you can achieve with the Impressions a Bloom .  For these flowers, I stamped 2 in Peach Pie ink followed by Timid Tiger ink. The 3rd flower was stamped using Fresh Freesia ink. I first stamped off onto scratch paper and then used full strength for the detailed/outline stamp. Next, I d...

Perfectly Pears for Sunday Stamps!

 It's Sunday and today starts another new challenge at Sunday Stamps! Yahoo!  I love card challenges because it makes you think outside the box and at the same time gives you something to create with whether it be a color challenge or a sketch challenge.   For this weeks creation, I focused on the new Online Exclusive Bundle called Perfectly Pears .  This bundle is part of a suite and the products in the suite are gorgeous.  For this particular creation, I focused on the adorable set of pears and a few of the coordinating dies. I stamped the outline set of pears image using Pecan Pie ink and then stamped the solid part of the pear image using Darling Duckling ink which also had some Timid Tiger ink sponged onto it as well. I then took my Darling Duckling and my Timid Tiger Stampin' Blends and outlined some of the edges of the pears to add more depth to each Pear. Next, I colored the leaves and stem using Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends...
