Happy Monday, peeps! I gave my blue-hued ink pads a workout yesterday, as I needed two sympathy cards and I found a couple of CAS challenges that fit their bill. The first uses another one of the masks (stencils) that I've been playing with lately; this time I used the butterfly one:
After stenciling in Balmy Blue, Misty Moonlight and Pacific Point, I added a sentiment from Eden's Garden and some speckles from Color and Contour:
I added a blue rhinestone and mounted everything on a Balmy Blue base. It fits the bill for the SUO CAS challenge as well as the Krafty Secrets CAS challenge!
My second card uses a Hero Arts stamp that I normally think of as a Christmas image, but I thought it would work well for a wintery sympathy card:
The image was stamped in Misty Moonlight, as was the sentiment from Special Moments:
I popped up the panel on dimensionals and it's ready to go. It fits the Double D challenge for this week of blue and white winter:
I used the upper left photo as my inspiration! Thanks to Diane, I am also entering it at Colorful Options challenge:
Thanks so much for popping in today!

Enjoy your day and be blessed!

Very soothing cards. I especially like the tree card. Have a blessed week!
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty cards! Gotta say that I really love the butterfly card with such pretty colors! I hope to play with my masks this week! And your tree card is perfect for a sympathy card! I always love when you use that stamp! TFS and have a great day, LeAnne!
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards - are the 'speckles' stenciled, too? Yes, that midnight blue is perfect for this wintery night scene!

Gorgeous butterfly, LeAnne! Love your blue theme, and perfect iridescent pearl to go with! Such perfect choices for a loving sympathy card... Thanks so much for playing at SU Only!
ReplyDeleteOh you do know how to sing the blues! I love the wintry sympathy card1
ReplyDeleteLove the sentiment with your pretty butterfly and the peacefulness of the trees! Two wonderful cards, LeAnne. Cassidy looks like she's getting so tall!
ReplyDeleteBoth your cards are stunning! I love butterflies so of course it’s a pretty card. And there’s a wow factor to a navy blue scenic evening with white silhouette trees. So happy you played along with Krafty Chicks Challenge this week.

Two very pretty cards! Thanks so much for linking up to the Double D challenge. Best of luck to you!
ReplyDeleteTwo very beautiful cards! Thank you for much for playing along with us at SUOChallenges.com and we hope to see you again tomorrow for our new challenge!
ReplyDeleteI came to your post from the SU only challenge and I was going to talk about how your simple butterfly made such a stunning card. Imagine my suprise when I found a second gorgeous card on your blog post. I love the color palette you used for both cards. They have such a serene, peaceful feeling.
ReplyDeleteYour stenciled butterfly looks amazing and I love the little rhinestone accent. I think your sympathy card is gorgeous too--I always tend to gravitate towards blues and greens for sympathy cards (and lots of other things, ha). Thanks for playing along with us at SUO Challenges!
