Happy Saturday, peeps! Sadly, I needed a sympathy card this week, so I went looking for some challenges that would give me some inspiration! I took the sketch from TGIF and paired it with the Double D challenge of Anything Goes. They are collaborating with Altenew and their stencils, which are optional, but since the images that I used just happened to be Altenew, I decided to add a little stenciling too!
And here's my card:
My florals are from Garden Treasure, and I used some retired DSP for the bottom panel. The sentiment was stamped in Memento Black, then diecut with a Stitched Labels die. I very lightly stenciled some Bubble Bath polka dots on the card base around the flower:
and added a little banner of the new Grosgrain Ribbon:
A Stamp Simply verse was stamped on the inside:
Thanks for visiting today--enjoy it and be blessed!
Cassidy did a little fishing with Wayne last week and had some success:
Hard to believe she'll be thirteen next week!

What a gorgeous card you've made to express sympathy. I love this one! How is it possible Cassidy is already a teenager? And she fishes too! LOL How cute is that picture of her :)
ReplyDeleteDoesn't Altenew have the most wonderful leaves? and the details in the layers of your flower are so perfectly placed, LeAnne! LOve the pink and red - and those sweet little pink 'bubbles' and ribbon too!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Cassidy!

This is a very classy sympathy card. I am so inspired by your design and use of the backgrounds. Thank you so much for joining us at Double D Challenge.
ReplyDeleteThat little bit of stenciling adds a lot, LeAnne! Such a pretty flower and it plays perfectly with the patterned paper! So pretty! Our little girls are growing up way too fast!

I just found this in my Yahoo spam! Glad I looked before I automatically deleted everything! She is such a beauty, as is the fish and especially your card! 13...where have the years gone?
