I was needing inspiration for a sympathy card and thought the color challenge at Sunday Stamps and the Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge at Techno Stamper would be perfect.
To make this card, I used Pool Party for the card base. I added a layer of Sheer Perfection Vellum and a piece of 5/8″ Basic Gray Satin Ribbon. To make the panel, I used a piece of Naturals White card stock layered onto Bermuda Bay. Using the Summer Silhouettes stamp set, I stamped the flowers and leaves in Memento Black, Basic Gray, Bermuda Bay and Pool Party. The sentiment is from the retired hostess set, Simply Sketched. A small pearl was added to the center of the flower.
I’m so glad Summer Silhouettes is included in the 2015-2016 Annual Stampin’ Up! Catalog. It is one of my favorites.
Be sure to check out the other lovely cards at the two challenge sites.
