FLLCJUL13 With Sympathy

Hey y'all!

Today's card is my 2nd creation for the 

Flourishes July Release Sketch Challenge:

 

I started out with Kraft cardstock, and then I used my Spellbinders Labels One dies for that window on SU! Whisper White cardstock.

Both sentiments are from my ODBD "Loving Memories" set, and I just punched the larger sentiment using my large circle-punch.  I also sponged some SU! Old Olive around the edges too.

It's hard to tell in this picture, but that felt ric-rac under the banner is an olive green color (not brown).  And I added that huge button and twine to finish it all off.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Don't forget to head on over to my A.R.T. Card Challenge blog (tomorrow) Thursday morning!  We will reveal last week's winners PLUS start a new challenge 

(it's a theme).  I sure hope you'll join us, we're having lots of fun!

Our Daily Bread with Sympathy

Hey there!

Today's card was inspired by the sketch challenge over at 

Our Daily Bread Designs blog.

I'm disappointed, as by the time I finally got this finished, 

I'd missed the cut-off time  :(

But, here's a look at it!:

I went with the only stamp set I own from ODBD, 

and that is the "Loving Memory" set.

I inked it up, and colored in the leaves using my Prisma.  For dimension, I inked the lilies up again onto SU! Whisper White cardstock, cut them out, then popped them up using foam-adhesives.

Thanks for stopping by today!

With Sympathy

Hey there!

There's nothing fancy about my card today. I followed this week's sketch from The Sweet Stop, and the color inspiration from the Color Throwdown.

The stamps are by ODBD Loving Memories set, inked up, colored, blended and finished it off with that bow & button.

Thanks for stopping by today, I always enjoy your comments!
