Simply Sketched Sympathy Card

Hello and Happy Wednesday! I had no intentions of making a card today, but that changed when I saw this weeks sketch at Freshly Made Sketches. I love how Narelle arranged the layers and the design teams inspiration is outstanding. The colors for this Simply Sketched Sympathy Card are from this weeks challenge at Color Throwdown to use:

• Tempting Turquoise
• Kiwi Kiss
• Pacific Point
• Chocolate Chip
• White

The focal image is from the Simply Sketched hostess stamp set by Stampin' Up!. I stamped the image with StazOn Jet Black ink and used a blender pen and classic stampin' pads to color the image. For the clouds I used a punched out pansy flower and scalloped circle and then sponged on bashful blue (retired) ink. I think the little birdie is beautiful in blues. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
