FMS sketch challege #289, With Sympathy


I'm the person who sends out cards to those needing them for a group I'm in.  Since many of our members are up there in age, most of those are sympathy cards, so I try to have a couple on hand.

It's not my favorite kind of card to make, but I do take some pride in sending my hand made cards each and every time.

I think this stamp set is a forever one.  I sure do not intend to get rid of it ever.  It's Sheltering Tree, it's been in the catalog for quite a while now and yes, it's in the new one as well. The little blobs can be leaves or flowers or just about whatever you would like them to be. I've seen them used in very unexpected ways, and I bet you have too.  This was just another way to give the card some charactor.  I simple stamped the tree twice,  cut out one of them using the stitched framelit and layered it in top of first a slightly larger piece of Berry Burst then onto the card front over the tree on there.

The sky is our watercolor pencils, I used the side of the tip and then went over gently with my Blender pen, since I didn't use watercolor paper I had to be careful and not make it too wet.

So here is todays challenge: You can find it here.


Todays colors are Berry Burst (new incolor), Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz and a Bermuda Bay pencil. Thanks for stopping by!

Stampin Up, PPA 238, A color challenge


Todays card is a special one. I am sending this one to a good friend in another state who I miss a lot. She and I stamped together for years before I moved away, and she has been struggling with living with her husband knowing that any day could be his last for well over a year now.

I think some fun mail in her mailbox is in order, I know I sure do miss her.

I used watercolor paper for my tree, I inked up the stamp and give it just one quick spritz with the mister with water. I also used the Window collection Framelits to frame my tree.
So, here are our colors this week. Come, join in, you'll be amazed at how addicting it can be and how much fun. I decided this needed to be a square card, so I needed to make myself an envelop to send it in.  I think this one works, I didn't have  a sheet of DSP that was just right, so, I added my pink to this one with my blendie pen.

Here is a photo of the card with the  envelop.
Thanks for stopping by.
