Happy Saturday, peeps! I slept in today---what a great feeling! So I am a wee bit behind! I wanted to share two sympathy cards that sadly, I needed. They both use the Try Stampin on Tuesday sketch for this week. Here's the first one (which is really the second one I did):
And here's the sketch:
I used Shaded Summer, stamped in Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent. For this particular card, I stamped the images twice, once in each color. I diecut the Soft Succulent image, then fussy-cut the Pale Papaya flowers and adhered them on top. The sentiment is from Positive Thoughts. I added pearls at the bottom and one on the main image as well, and some Soft Succulent ribbon.
I used a Papertrey sentiment and the butterfly from Positive Thoughts for the inside:
The second one (which is the first card I made) uses the same layout and images; this time I used markers to color the greenery and florals:
The background DSP is from You're A Peach, and I added some retired polka dot ribbon and some Blue Gems. I forgot the elements at the bottom right, so that's why I made another one! They are both on a Basic White card base that was embossed with the Dots embossing folder
So happy you could pop by today! My to-do list today include making eggplant parmesan from the bumper crop of eggplants we've had! Off to put on my chef toque! Enjoy your day and be blessed!

Beautiful cards, as always! Love eggplant parmigiana!! Just had the best in VT….he added ricotta. 😍
ReplyDeleteSo, so pretty, LeAnne - Soft Succulent is quickly becoming my go-to green these days - though the layout in blue is awesome, too! Both so elegant! Thanks so much for playing at TSOT!
ReplyDeleteOh LeAnne, I'm sorry that you needed them, but they sure are beautiful, and will surely bring comfort to those in need.

Two pretty cards, that will be greatly appreciated for the love that went into them.
ReplyDeleteThey are both lovely, despite the sad occasion you need them for. I guess te receivers of both cards feel the warmth you've put in making the cards. Thank you for joining us at TSOT with these two beauties. Marjolein
