Happy Monday! It’s time for our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenge! This week we have a wonderful tablescape…don’t you LOVE those colors! I used Highland Heather, Fresh Freesia, and Soft Succulent, along with the new Sale-A-Bration set, Delicate Dahlias, for my sympathy card.
After my dad’s passing a couple weeks ago, I’ve received many beautiful hand-made cards from fellow stampers. Thank you! Each one means more to me than I can express and reinforces why it is so important to reach out to people when they have endured a loss. It does bring just a glimmer of joy during a difficult time. I always thought that if I didn’t send a card right away, that it was too late and I didn’t want to remind them of their grief. But…now I realize that the grief is still there, whether or not a week, a month, a year or longer goes by. Send a card no matter when…they will appreciate it!
DELICATE DAHLIAS
Stampin’ Details:
-
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Soft Succulent cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
- The front of the base is embossed with the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder.
- Two 3/4 x 3-1/2 strips of 2021-22 In Color 6×6 Designer Paper were added to the sides of a 3-1/2 x 4-1/2 piece of Highland Heather cardstock and added to the front.
- The 3 x 3-1/2 piece of Basic White cardstock was stamped with the greeting in Soft Succulent Ink.
- The large Delicate Dahlias stamp outline was stamped with Highland Heather Ink on scrap Basic White and the center with Fresh Freesia Ink. Some Highland Heather was added with a sponge dauber before it was stamped. The outline leaves were stamped full-strength with Soft Succulent and inside stamped off Soft Succulent Ink. All were hand-cut and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A trio of In Color Jewels were added to the background (Soft Succulent color).
Isn’t that a pretty sympathy card? These supplies will be available beginning August 3. OK…check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Monday Challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!
