I thought I'd try another sympathy card using this week's Get Sketchy! Sketch. My sympathy card last night turned out to be a foreshadowing, because unfortunately I ended up needing several sympathy cards today.
This time I used this Inspiration Photo from Hero Arts as a jump start for my design. I went through my paper collection grabbing various sheets of greens and turquoise and layering them until I found a pattern / color shade combination that made me happy. The green is from DCWV Mariposa Collection and the teal/turquoise is from My Mind's Eye Fine and Dandy Collection (I love finding ways to combine papers from different companies).
I added a small Outline Bold Flourish (I picked it up at Michael's) that I adorned with some Teal Gemstones & finished with a sentiment from a great new sympathy set, With Sympathy.
I am loving the accuracy of my new Genesis Paper Trimmer (not to mention the light). I am able to cut so precisely, that I trimmed those very tiny borders around my designer paper pieces.
gorgeous papers Stef… sad to hear that you actually need the sympathy cards…
I saw that trimmer, it sure looks quite handy with the light and all. Too expensive though!
Such a gorgeous card…love it…sorry about needing sympathy cards..hang in there!
It is probably the hardest card to make, sympathy card, but this sure looks great with those colors!
This is just beautiful! Classy and elegant! 🙂
Thanks for joining us at Get Sketchy!
