Whew! I am back after a short absence spent with family. It was a fun filled week with lots of activity – a birthday party, a fishing trip, a paddle boarding excursion, a movie and of course the road trip. Today I am sharing a simple sympathy card that I made for a friend who lost her sister.
After uploading the picture, I realized that I needed something in the flower center so I quickly added an Enamel Shape but it could also have been a small punched flower. As you can see, I did not mask anything but rather just stamped a variety of flowers with Sahara Sand, Island Indigo & Mint Macaron Inks. In addition, I stamped the leaves with full both strength ink and stamped off ink.
Island Indigo Cardstock forms my card base with a mat from Blooms & Bliss Designer Series Paper covering the front panel of my card. That same DSP is used for a mat to back my sentiment which can be found in the Thoughts & Prayers Stamp Set.
The final accessory is a length of Mint Macaron 3/8" Sheer Linen Ribbon which has the "messy" look created by folding it over multiple times and securing it with glue dots each time.
This is a quick & easy card – one that I hope you will try. If you do, please be sure to send me a picture of your card. I would love to see your creation.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today!
Hugs,
Ginger
Stampin' Up! Supplies Used:
I like this card. I was thinking of copying it from the book. I like your color combinations. I like the DSP you used for the mat and oval. Nice work
Is this card in the catalog? I sure miss a lot! I like your color combo too as well as the DP. I like the “messy” ribbon. One of my cards from Ann Schach has this ribbon treatment on it and though it was supposed to look messy – it was laid perfectly! This is really sort of soft looking but oh so pretty. I need to get that Sahara Sand ink pad – I never liked it but I think it would coordinate with a lot of colors now that I am used to it.
Wow, this card is outstanding!
