Sending Loving Thoughts

It's Tuesday so that means another sketch for you to try at Try Stampin' on Tuesday! I got to design the sketch for this week as well so if you can find the time we would love to see you play along and be sure to check out what the rest of the Design Team came up with. I also was so inspired by the current Colour Challenge at The Paper Players (and their DT samples this week are amazing, as always) that I just had to use them.

 

I really don't make sympathy cards very often (thankfully), and when I do need them alot of times I don't feel like stamping so I decided it would be good to create a few to have on hand. I used something on this card that I also don't do very often-*gasp* I used a retired stamp set. I was really in the mood to water colour and I had a few of the images from On The Grow (from the 2011 Summer Mini) already stamped out. I just love this image of flowers in a mason jar. I stamped it on WaterColour paper then coloured it with Ink Pads, Markers and an Aqua Painter and matted it on some Blushing Bride Textured Card stock. Then of course I had to use my Colour Spritzer Tool with a Sahara Sand Marker.


I placed a few mini Pearl Jewels in the center of the flowers. This main image was then attached to 2 pieces that were cut from the Paper Doily Large Sizzlet and a piece of DSP from the Twitterpated pack. The large piece DSP is from the Every Day Enchantment pack (available during Sale a Bration (SAB) starting Jan. 24). I then used some gorgeous Blushing Bride Pleated Satin Ribbon and also the SAB Organdy Ribbon. The small half doilies (from Kindness Matters) were stamped using the matching ink a long the top of the card stock, now here is where I kind of goofed with the colour challenge- I was going from memory and thought that the green was Lucky Limeaide so that is what I used:) Lastley the sentiment is from Loving Thoughts.

Supplies used:

Stamps: Kindness matters, Loving Thoughts, On the Grow

Ink: StazOn, Basic Black, Sahara Sand and Lucky Limeaide.  Pool Party, Blushing Bride, Lucky Limeaide, Pear Pizzazz Sahara Sand, and Calypso Coral Markers

Jenn, this is stunning. If only I could learn to watercolor like that; it is gorgeous.
