Blog Challenge - CAS Colours & Sketches #506 Hand-Penned Petals sympathy card

 

 

 

 

 

  Hello and Happy Friday - TGIF, am I right?!  There is a new color challenge over on the CAS Colours & Sketches blog that I used to create my sympathy card for today.  Sadly, I have needed a few sympathy cards to send to friends and family this week and thought this color palette would be perfect to use with the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set. 

 

 

 

 

CAS Colours & Sketches challenge #506

 

  The CAS Colours & Sketches blog provides a color challenge for the first half of the month and a sketch challenge for the other half. This month's palette is such a great color combination for spring-themed cards, especially florals.  Please click the link or image above to check out the blog.

 

 

 

 

  I must admit that I haven't used the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set in a while, and forgot how much I love it!  I stamped the large flower image several times onto a 11" x 3" strip of basic white card stock and then colored them all at the same time, assembly-line style. There are solid image stamps in the set that coordinate with the flowers and foliage, making it super easy to color. Once they were colored, I used the coordinating Penned Flowers dies to cut each one out with my Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine.

  Here you can see the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set and the basic pearls that I added for a little something extra. Once I die cut the floral image, I popped it up with dimensionals on my card front.

 

 

 

 

  For the inside of the card I simply stamped the large floral image with Highland Heather ink, stamped off once on my grid paper, then stamped a partial image in the lower left corner. This allows me room to write, but also makes the inside of the card a little special too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is one more view of my card. I hope I have inspired you to try out this color palette.

 

Thanks for visiting and happy stamping!

The Hand-Penned Petals stamp set is so delicate and is one of my favorites, too. Those soft spring colors are a lovely choice for a sympathy card.

What a pretty and elegant card made using the colours of the current CC&S challenge. The stamped flowers on the inside of the card add such a gorgeous detail. This sympathy card will certainly bring comfort to the recipient. Thank you so much for sharing with us at CC&S :)
