Four Feathers

I have lots to share this week, starting with two challenges for today!  The first challenge is for the Creative Challenge Club.  We have a fun sketch for the week.

I went with soft colors and Four Feathers, a break from Christmas cards today!

I love this set, there is so much versatility!  This is a sympathy card with muted colors.  Inspiration came from the Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack.  I wanted to keep the design crisp and clean with just a few colors and simple stamping.

Before adding a strip of designer paper to the center, I stamped a couple of feathers in Smokey Slate to keep the muted look.  The focal point is made up of a couple of stamps.  The watercolor background is from For All Things, stamped in Soft Sky.  The sentiment is from Blooming with Kindness from the main catalog stamped with Lost Lagoon.  The feathers are stamped and die cut with the Four Feathers Bundle.  Two Pear Pizzaz feathers and one Lost Lagoon feather surround the sentiment to finish off the card.

I also stamped the outside of the envelope to make a complete look.

We would love for you to join the challenge with us!  Just go to Creative Challenge Club for more details and great samples from the Design Team.

Floral Sympathy

Today I have a floral card to share for the sketch this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday.  First, let me show you the sketch.

I went with a soft and pretty sympathy card.  It fit well with today's sketch.

I sat down with the All Abloom Designer Series Paper Stack and picked out a paper that I wanted.  The floral pattern with blues, yellows and greens was my favorite.   I love these soft colors for a sympathy card, so pretty.  The hostess set Bloom with Hope was perfect for this design, it's beautiful and soft as well.

Supplies:

Stamps:  Bloom with Hope

Paper:  Lost Lagoon, Pistachio Pudding, So Saffron, All Abloom Designer Series Paper Stack

Ink:  Lost Lagoon, So Saffron

Accessories:  Floral Framelits, Circle Framelits, Woodgrain Embossing Folder, Soft Sky Seam Binding

I hope you will join the challenge with me!  Just go to Try Stampin' on Tuesday for all the details plus more great samples from the Design Team.

I'm Here For You

As you can probably tell by now, I like cards with a soft look to them.  I keep going back to a couple of stamp sets that I have that make the most beautiful soft looking cards.  One of my favorites is Blooming with Kindness.  I needed to make sympathy cards to sell in the bookstore, so I naturally went to this set.  I wanted simple and elegant, here's what I came up with.

I love the look of Crumb Cake and Pear Pizzaz, soft and pretty!  The flower was stamped onto the Crumb Cake with Crumb Cake ink more than once to have variations of color.  The darker flowers I highlighted with white gel pen to make them pop.  I stamped off the flower before stamping it onto the white card stock, then the greeting was stamped in Soft Suede to make it stand out.  The Pear Pizzaz Seam Binding just adds the finishing touch for me.  The great thing about this card design is you can use it for any occasion and can change up the ribbon color.  I will probably do just that and share it will you later! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Come back tomorrow for Flashback Friday!!

If it doesn't move...stamp it!!
