Simply Sketched Sympathy Card for TSSC267

Happy Monday!  Time for a new Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge.  This week we have yet another great sketch provided to us by Mary Jo, take a look.

I did a simple yet elegant card with this week's sketch using the new hostess set Simply Sketched.

I love that this sketch allowed me to make a card fairly quick.  A few elements and I had an elegant sympathy card.  I started out with a Baked Brown Sugar card base embossed with the Woodgrain EF. I stamped the bird on Glossy CS (boy am I sad about this retiring...) with black StazOn ink.

The image was colored in using a blender pen and ink pad for the lighter areas and markers for the darker shading.  I sponged Baked Brown Sugar ink around the edges of the die cut from the Apothecary Accents set.  The greeting was stamped last below the bird with black StazOn ink.  I added in a stripe of Old Olive CS with the ends cut into banner shapes with the 1" square punch.   And that's it, card complete!  I can see me using this hostess set a lot.  Not only does it have three beautiful images that can be colored in, but it has wonderful greetings.

See it Again Saturday

This week for See it Again Saturday I am doing a re-visit of yesterday's layout.  I really loved the simplicity of it.  So, let's get directly to it!  Here's today's card made with the new hostess set Simply Sketched.

I love all the new In Colors so the card was based on them.  Coastal Cabana is the card base embossed with the new Beautifully Baroque EF.    The banners are all In Colors as well - Baked Brown Sugar, Crisp Cantaloupe, and Pistachio Pudding.  I stamped the image and greeting from Simply Sketched with Baked Brown Sugar ink then colored it with my blender pen and ink pads.  The image was die cut using the new circles framelits which I absolutely LOVE!

As a finishing touch, I did paper piercing around the image.  I had to free hand it, there isn't a template with a circle big enough yet.  I am hoping that Stampin' Up! will have new paper piercing templates for all the new framelits coming soon.
Thanks for checking out my card today, hope to see you Monday for the new Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge!
