Sympathy Card for Two Challenges

This sympathy card covers two challenges. First, I used the Freshly Made Sketch#183 here. And second, the Splitcoast Color Challenge#527 here.
The colors to use are Wild Wasabi, Pink Pirouette and Sahara Sand. The stamp set, Love and Sympathy is going to be retired the end of May. Also going to retire is the Perfect Polka Dots embossing flower. And I used a bit of the Sweet Dreams DSP.

Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Love and Sympathy
Papers: Whisper White, Sahara Sand, Wild Wasabi, Pink Pirouette, Sweet Dreams DSP
Inks: Wild Wasabi and Pink Pirouette
Accessories: Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, Stampin dimensionals

Sympathy Card for a Color Challenge

Unfortunately I needed some sympathy cards so I used the Create with Connie and Mary Color Challenge#177 here. The colors to use are Night of Navy, Lucky Limeade and River Rock.
The base is Night of Navy card stock and then I added some Lucky Limeade. I used River Rock DSP from the Patterns DSP Neutrals Stack on the bottom. On the top I stamped the greeting from Love and Sympathy in Lucky Limeade. I used my Lucky Limeade and Night of Navy Stampin' Write markers to color in the flower stamp. Finally, some 1/4 inch Night of Navy grosgrain finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Love & Sympathy
Papers: Very Vanilla, Night of Navy, Lucky Limeade and Patterns DSP Neutrals Stack
Inks: Lucky Limeade Classic pad and Lucky Limeade and Night of Navy Stampin' Write markers
Accessories: 1/4 inch Night of Navy grosgrain

Love & Sympathy In-Colors

I saw this card on SplitcoastStampers and thought I'd make one in each of the new In-Colors.
The base is Calypso Coral, Island Indigo, Lucky Limeade, Pool Party and Wisteria Wonder. I ran pieces of River Rock thru the Big Shot with both the Houndstooth and Vintage Wallpaper textured impressions embossing folders. I stamped the sentiment in coordinating colors and colored the flower stamp with the In-Color Stampin' Write marker and River Rock Stampin' Write marker. Finally, I added some 3/8 inch In-Color Ruffled ribbon.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Love and Sympathy
Papers: Very Vanilla, River Rock, Calypso Coral, Island Indigo,  Lucky Limeade, Pool Party and Wisteria Wonder
Inks: River Rock Stampin' Write Marker, Calypso Coral, Island Indigo, Lucky Limeade, Pool Party and Wisteria Wonder Classic Stamp pads and Stampin' Write Markers
Accessories: 3/8 inch Ruffled Ribbon in all 5 In-Colors, Houndstooth and Vintage Wallpaper textured impressions embossing folders
