Simple Sympathy

Here's a simple sympathy card I made a while ago but just forgot to post. I used my Color Coach for the color combo of Pear Pizzazz, Blushing Bride and Early Espresso.
I started with a base of Pear Pizzazz card stock. I added some Blushing Bride DSP from the DSP Pack In-Color, matting it with Blushing Bride card stock. I ran a piece of Early Espresso thru the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch. I colored the stamp from Thanks for Caring with my Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz and Early Espresso Stampin' Write markers. I punched that out with the XL 2 3/8 inch Scallop Circle punch. That was layered onto an Early Espresso piece punched with the XL 2 1/2 inch Circle punch. Finally, some 1/8 inch Early Espresso taffeta ribbon finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Thanks for Caring
Papers: Whisper White, Blushing Bride, Early Espresso, Pear Pizzazz and DSP Pack In-Color
Inks: Blushing Bride, Early Espresso, Pear Pizzazz Stampin' Write Markers
Accessories: XL 2 3/8 inch Scallop Circle punch, Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch, XL 2 1/2 inch Circle punch, 1/8 inch Early Espresso taffeta ribbon

Sympathy Card for a Sketch & Color Combo

This sympathy card was made using the MojoMonday Sketch#187 here, and the Splitcoast Color Combination#319 here. The colors to use are Crumb Cake, Concord Crush and Ivory.
The base is Concord Crush card stock. I ran a piece of Crumb Cake thru the Big Shot with the Square Lattice textured impressions embossing folder. I added some Concord DSP from the DSP Pack In-Color and some Vanilla and Crumb Cake DSP from Elegant Soiree DSP. I stamped the sentiment from Thanks for Caring in Concord Crush and cut out the circle with the Circles#2 Big Shot die. I added a Concord piece punched with the XL 2 3/8 inch Scallop Circle punch. I popped that up with Stampin' dimensionals. I ran a piece of Very Vanilla thru the Scallop Edge Border punch and added some dots with the Concord Crush Stampin' Write Marker. I stamped the tag and love from Tiny Tags in Concord Crush on Very Vanilla and used the Medium Jewelry Tag punch to punch that out. Finally, some 1/2 inch Concord Crush stitched-poly ribbon finishes it off.

Mojo#175 Love & Caring

This one was made with the MojoMonday sketch#175 here.
The base is Baha Breeze card stock and I added some DSP from the Springtime Vintage DSP. I used the Circles#2 Big Shot die to cut out the Vanilla and Pear Pizzazz circles and the Coluzzle to cut out the Baha Breeze circle. The 2 3/8 inch XL Scallop Circle punch was used to punch out the Not Quite Navy scallop. I inked up the stamps from Thanks for Caring with my Baha Breeze, Not Quite Navy and Pear Pizzazz Stampin Write markers. The butterfly was stamped on Vanilla with Not Quite Navy, cut out and layered onto some Not Quite Navy card stock. The circles and part of the butterfly were popped up with Stampin dimensionals.
