It is so nice to be able to stamp again! Between migraine headaches (Ugh!), dining room furniture shopping (Yippee!), and substitute teaching...it has been one heck of a week!
My dh needed a sympathy card for a co-worker. I don't usually have many sympathy cards on hand, so this is what I came up with. I try to keep sympathy cards free from a lot of embellishments and on the lighter side with soft and subtle colors. My Certainly Celery card base has the Stampin' Up Linen background stamped with VersaMark for softness. I added some faux stitching as well. The Lavender Lace strip has Leaves a la Carte wheeled with Brilliance Ink in Moonlight White. The single flower is from Stampin' Up's Heartfelt Thanks set. It is layered on ovals made with my Spellbinder's Nestabilities Dies. Then, I sponged some Lavender Lace ink on the scallops for some depth. The My Sentiments Exactly sentiment is stamped with Lavender Lace ink. I added some Star Dust Stickles to the flower petals and leaves for a little bit of elegance.
With everything going on around here, I unfortunately did not get to any of those wonderful challenges that I wanted to. Let's hope for some wonderful stamping time this weekend!!! I'm so glad that you could stop by...Toodles! :D
