To participate, you need to create something with the colour purple predominating. I wanted to participate, and needed some sympathy cards (unfortunately). So I combined the two.
I was happy enough with the card above to make a variation on the theme:
Same stamps, mostly the same inks (I didn't go quite as dark for the shadow layer), darker mat. This time I used an off-white card stock, but through my amazing photography skillz, you'd never know it.
Just Us Girls happens to be highlighting the word SYMPATHY this week, so I will link up there, too. And to Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Anything Goes challenge, as well.
I hope you'll visit The Hop to Stop to show your support and admire all the beautiful projects!
Supplies: (1st card) white & mauve cardstock, Altenew Vintage Flowers, Impression Obsession roses & Hero Arts With Deepest Sympathy stamps, Memento lulu lavender, Stampin' Up lavender lace & Papertrey Ink royal velvet inks, Creative Memories corner-rounding punch, pop-dot tape; (2nd card) Stampin' Up naturals white & purple cardstock, Vintage Flowers & Deepest Sympathy stamps, Memento grape jelly ink in place of royal velvet ink
Two pretty cards, and while they're not "fun" to make, they are absolutely lovely. I've wondered about the Altnew sets, and might have to make the investment sooner rather than later. Really lovely. Bev

Your personal design background paper is gorgeous. I have a stamp similar to your rose stamp and I know what you mean about lining up...your's is perfect. I always like the look of stitching/piercing in a card.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card...love that stamp..I'd snag it too!
ReplyDeleteSo elegant - needs nothing more.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in this week at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.
