Needing to create a sympathy card for one of the swaps I participated in at convention last week I went to the Flower Shop (130939) and Thoughts & Prayers (128751) stamp sets. If you want a card that can be easily duplicated in minutes, for any occasion, this is a card for you!
I love all the patterns in the English Garden Designer Series paper (138440) and chose the green leaf patterned paper for this card. I also gravitated towards my “go to” Typeset Specialty Designer Series Paper (133704) to add some earthiness to the card. The card base is Old Olive with the tree branches from Thoughts & Prayers stamped in Mellow Moss.Wanting a pop of color, I chose the outline flower from the Flower Shop stamp set & water colored it using my Aqua Painter (103954) and Calypso Coral ink pad (126983) for a softness to the pop.
The banner was created using the Triple Banner Punch (138292) and Woodgrain embossing folder (127821). The leaves and flowers were added to the label using Old Olive ink and only part of the stamp from the Thoughts & Prayers stamp set. Did you notice the Burlap Ribbon (132140) at the bottom? I cut the ribbon in 1/2 lengthwise and raveled it a bit. Let’s not waste those fibers! I added them behind the flower and I am loving this card! Don’t you just love it when everything just fits?
