My friend needed a couple of sympathy cards, and I remembered that I had just seen this picture in the latest issue of Architectural Digest:
Pretty, huh? I also fell in love with this card from my friend Tracey! I am thinking that green is fairly trendy right now! I did not have any toile stamps, but I did have a floral background stamp that was retired from SU. I inked it up in a couple different greens, because although I loved the designs from the magazine, I wasn’t really fond of the olive color!! So my first one is Garden Green:
The frame and garden images are from Crafty Secrets; the sentiment is from Thoughts and Prayers. Inside, more CS images and a verse from Blessings from Heaven:
Second one is done in Wild Wasabi:
I stamped the sentiment full-strength and the image was stamped off one time:
Again, did some stamping on the inside; I just love these garden images!
Edited to add: I am also linking this up for the Papercraft Star challenge this week:
Dana took Cassidy to a field day at a local school yesterday, where she “sort of” participated in a sack race:
Enjoy your day!
Very nice CAS cards! And yes, they say Green is the color this year! I love the new blog design too! :-)

ReplyDeleteI really like your card AND I MUST HAVE that stamp set. I see that you mentioned it was Crafty Secrets; do you know the name so I can try to find it? Thanks.....I live in a senior community and I'm afraid that I need sympathy cards the most.
ReplyDeleteLOVELY cards LeAnne! The monochromatic schemes are gorgeous! Just wish didn't need to make more sympathy cards. :(
ReplyDeletelove your monochromatic cards!! cassidy looks so cute in the sack!!
ReplyDeleteWow, both of your cards are gorgeous. I love frame with the garden images and the pot on the inside too. I like the way you over-stamped the sentiment on the second card.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Cassidy's not too sure about that sack;)
Beautiful cards. Love the green and the floral background stamp you used.

ReplyDeleteOh LeAnne, I just LOVE that Floral Background stamp in green!! I need to get that stamp out and play with it! I just love your cards - every single one of them! And I enjoy seeing the pics of Cassidy - what a gift you are giving to her and your DD by watching her every day! And YOU get to be there for all those special moments.
