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!

Simply Sketched Sympathy Card Supplies*:
  • Paper: Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise, Pacific Point, Pear Pizzazz, and Chocolate Chip card stock and Tempting Turquoise Designer Series Paper (retired) all by Stampin' Up! and Kiwi colored patterned paper by K & Company.
  • Stamps: Simply Sketched hostess stamp set and Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set.
  • Inks: StazOn Jet Black and classic stampin' pads in Bashful Blue (retired), Pacific Point, Pear Pizzazz, Tempting Turquoise, Pool Party and Chocolate Chip.
  • Other Stuff: Big Shot, Square Lattice embossing folder, Modern Label punch, Word Window punch, large brad, and stampin' dimensionals.
*All supplies by Stampin' Up! unless noted.
