Sympathy Card - Sketch #760

 

I was requested to make some Sympathy cards.  

I took inspiration from our fall weather and the changing of the leaves. I was watching them as they blow out of the trees. 

We've also had cloudy, rainy weather, and so I found a gray blue for my background. 

This card is my outside.😊

A cloudy, gray blue sky with leaves falling. 

All items for the card are from Stampin' Up. 

Most of my card making supplies are now retired from the Stampin' Up catalog. The background color is Bordering Blue. The stamp set is "Vintage Leaves", along with the matching dies, and the Sympathy sentiment is from the set "Close as a Memory." The inner sentiment is also from this set.

I made this card for my grandson who recently had an accident. Inside the card is a bunch of lip kisses.😊 

This card is from the sketch of the week from Freshly Made Sketches. #726. 

 

This card is made from a Stampin' Up set named "This Little Piggy", and uses the colors: Crumb Cake and Regal Rose. The DSP is some watercolor paper I had on hand. 

Thanks for looking.

  

Sketch #701

Today's Challenge was from Freshly Made Sketches #701. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's my entry: 

 

 

This card is made with the Stampin' Up stamp set named "Coffee Cafe". I used the matching designer series paper named "Coffee Break".

 

The patterned paper is on a base of Soft Suede. The ink colors are Soft Sky, Blushing Bride, and Regal Rose for the hearts. Early Esspresso was used on the sentiment. I added 'Wink of Stella' glitter to the cup holders and covers of the cups. 

 

At first the card was kind of plain, so I asked my sister & daughter for suggestions on how else I could improve it. They had very helpful suggestions and this is my finished product.
