I finally have a chance to post a card this weekend. I spent some time cleaning my house and doing laundry yesterday, but finally found a little time last night to make a card. Ahhh....I love stamping :) My reward at the end of the day!
Sunday lunch is done (lasagne and corn on the cob). And, I've made to batches of zucchini bread (4 loaves). The first 2 are almost ready to remove from the oven. Mmmm....smells good.
Ok. Back to stamping. I found so many great challenges this weekend. But, the colors over at The Play Date Cafe really drew me in. Take a look at the PDCC94 challenge. SO pretty!
My card ~
I used a similar stamp for my card. I changed the colors and sentiment. Also, instead of a border, I drew 3 lines under my focal point. I added a few teal gemstones...then dotted crystal effects on each of the flower buds. This card came together quickly (that's rare for me!) and I really like these colors for a sympathy card.
Well, I have to get back to the kitchen. Gotta' get the next 2 loaves of bread ready for the oven ;- )
Thanks for taking a look!

ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous! I don't think I'd have the patience to put CE on all those little blooms, but it makes for an outstanding presentation! Love the way you added your own touch to the sentiment, too!
ReplyDeleteWow ... Susie, this is gorgeous ... I really love what you have done with the stamp set - it was my "gotta have stamp set" when it came out, which then quickly turned into the most underused stamp set I own .... might have to dig it out again!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the inspiration!!!
