Simple Sympathy Card

Unfortunately I've been asked to make some sympathy cards so I thought of the Patterns Pack III in Mellow Moss combined with Elegant Eggplant. I figured I might as well use up my Mellow Moss papers since it will be retiring in June.

I started with a piece of Mellow Moss card stock as the base and layered a piece of the Moss Patterns on top of that. I stamped the sentiment in Elegant Eggplant and the flowers were colored with Elegant Eggplant and Mellow Moss. "Thinking of you" from Teeny Tiny Wishes was stamped in Elegant Eggplant then punched with the Word Window punch. A piece of 1/4 inch Elegant Eggplant grosgrain ribbon finishes it off.

Here's the recipe:

Stamps: Close as a Memory and Teeny Tiny Wishes

Papers: Whisper white, Elegant Eggplant, Mellow Moss, Patterns Pack III DSP

Inks: Elegant Eggplant classic pad and Stampin write marker, Mellow Moss stampin write marker

Accessories: word window punch, 1/4 inch Elegant Eggplant grosgrain

Another post with more MOJO

I did the daily Mojo sketch here. They're having a sketch every day to celebrate their 100th. Unfortunately, I needed another sympathy card. My friend Mary's dad passed away. The last one I made was for her because her uncle died. I'm keeping Mary and family in my prayers. Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Close as a Memory

Papers: Whisper White, Sahara Sand, Soft Suede, Thoroughly Modern DSP

Inks: Soft Suede

Accessories: 1/4 inch Rose Red grosgrain ribbon, Scallop Edge punch

Splitcoast Sketch Challenge #240

Even though sympathy cards aren't so great to have to give, I still feel good making them because I know people will appreciate that extra handmade touch during their tough times.

I followed this Splitcoast sketch challenge #240 for the card. It's easier to see in real life, but I ran the Whisper White card stock through the Big Shot using the Stampin' Up Backgrounds 1 texturz plates. I used the Night of Navy patterned papers from the Hostess Level 1 Patterns Pack Designer Series Papers. And I colored the flowers and stems with Night of Navy and Always Artichoke markers.

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Close As a Memory

Papers: Whisper White, Night of Navy, Night of Navy Patterns Designer Series Paper

Inks: Night of Navy Classic Stampin' pad, Night of Navy and Always Artichoke Stampin' write markers

Accessories: Coluzzle circle cutter, Stampin' Up Backgrounds 1 Texturz Plates, Stampin' dimensionals
