Happy Friday, peeps! The weekend is upon us...albeit a wet one, but I can't complain since we've had some lovely sunshine the last couple of days! Sadly, I needed another sympathy card, and I really liked the sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches this week:
Woven Heirlooms is a lovely set that doesn't see enough ink in my craft room, and it has a perfect sympathy sentiment, so I paired it with some almost-retired SAB papers from Flower & Field:
I stamped the sentiment in Memento Black, then added a Basic Black mat as well as some Rococo Rose diecut flowers; they looked a little plain, so I colored some retired Candy Dots with my Basic Black Blend, and added a few black leaves to complement the pattern in the DSP:
I am a big proponent of color in my sympathy cards....they don't have to be garish, but I think some muted colors like these are appreciated! Thanks so much for popping in today---enjoy your day and be blessed!

ReplyDeleteThe papers and colors look beautiful, and those pretty little flowers with all the stitching add such a lovely touch! Beautiful take on the sketch too! I love those little chums snuggling up together keeping warm too :)
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, LeAnne! I try to use this stamp set for sympathy cards as I love the sentiment & the font! Great choice to pair it with the soon to be retired DSP. Enjoy the sunshine today before the rain moves in!
ReplyDeleteI, too, agree with colors. Very pretty LeAnne and uplifting.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful way to let those folks know you care, LeAnne.

Yep I like some color too! This is so pretty and I am a fan of those stitched flowers!
ReplyDeleteYes, I think you're right. Stark black or grey and white is a little cold but colour is comforting. I love the sentiment and those pierced flowers are gorgeous! Vicky x
