Dynamic Duos: #93: Subtly Yours....

This week at Dynamic Duos we are using Sahara Sand and Blushing Bride to create a "subtly yours" card creation.  With these soft colors, I immediately thought "wedding card or sympathy card".  I ended up making a sympathy card, but it could easily have been a wedding card as well.  Here's the challenge:
And here's my sympathy card:
 It was a gloomy day the day I photographed this card, could have been a little brighter, but such is life, right?  And below is a close up............

This stamp from the Happy Watercolor Garden stamp set is AWESOME.  So pretty.  And I love, love the watermark stamp that comes with this set. I am sure I will be getting my use of it. : D

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.

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...
