I hope you enjoyed yesterday's sketch challenge and gave it a try.  Today I'd like to share a Blooming with Kindness card that I did over the weekend.  I used muted colors and a design similar to the Bloomin' Marvelous cards I shared last week.  I just really loved the soft look of those cards and  thought it was the perfect look for a sympathy card using Blooming with Kindness. I stamped the flower on a Whisper White CS base card several times with the same inking of Baja Breeze to give both stronger and faded flowers.  I embossed the card stock with the Honeycomb Embossing Folder to add texture.  The flower was stamped off before stamping on the circle so the greeting would stand out.  I added Crumb Cake Taffeta ribbon to the card base, I like the look of the soft blue ink and the tan tones.   The butterfly was made with Soft Suede and Crumb Cake using the Beautiful Wings Embosslit.  All in all a soft card that came together quickly. Produc...

Today I am sharing the other cards I made with Bloomin' Marvelous using the layout from yesterday.  I changed up the colors to Baja Breeze, Pink Pirouette and Certainly Celery.  I also left out the framelit window die cut to make the card simpler.  I changed up the greeting by not matting it and adding a hummingbird in place of butterfly.  I also scattered more small flowers around the card in place of stamping on the background.  Here is a close up. I did another version with a different greeting and used the butterfly again.  I used the same colors as this first one.  This card has the background stamping and flowers more concentrated around the greeting.  I have a close up of this one too. I just love the softness of the colors and the pretty flowers.  So spring like! Makes me have a bit of spring fever with all of this crazy cold weather we have here in Ohio!!  I made a couple other cards using this layout with Blooming with Kindness...

I finally got a chance to try out the new Pinwheel Sizzlet and it is so cute!!  And what a great buy for just $4.95!  Anyway, I wanted to do a Thinking of you card and the pinwheel just seemed like the way to go.  I used the Cloudy Day EF on the top portion of the Whisper white CS but left the bottom without so I could stamp the greeting.  I embossed Tempting Turquoise with the versatile lacy EF from the set Delicate Designs.  The DSP is retired, but it was just so perfect for the card since it was pinwheels! I even cut one out by hand to put next to the greeting. I hope you try out the great pinwheel die, lots of possibilities! Stop by again tomorrow for another card idea.  Thanks for visiting!
