Good morning! I'm so excited for the end of this week as it's a short week for us and we're heading out on a mini vacation, which is always a nice chance to relax and unwind. Today the
SSINKspiration blog is focusing on sympathy cards so I decided to combine that with the
Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge for this lovey card.
I started with Crumb Cake cardstock for the cardbase and then added a layer of Early Espresso cardstock behind the Garden Green cardstock that was embossed with the
Big Shot and
Boho Chic Embossing Folder. Next I added a little strip of Very Vanilla cardstock behind a piece of Early Espresso designer series paper from the
Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack. Then I added some
Linen Thread wrapped around the layers and tied a bow.

Another piece of designer series paper, this time a piece of Garden Green from the
Regals Designer Series Paper Stack (for both patterned pieces I sponged with Crumb Cake ink to mute the Whisper White pattern and make it fit with the Very Vanilla elements. The main stamped image is from the
Lovely as a Tree stamp set an I took the largest strip of tress and just inked up a couple of the trees for a smaller element using
Stampin' Write Markers directly on the stamp before stamping on Very Vanilla cardstock. I cut the trees out using the
Big Shot and
Layering Circle Framelits and lightly sponged around the edge before attaching it to the cardfront with
dimensionals.
The greeting is from the
Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set and was stamped in Early Espresso ink on Crumb Cake cardstock before being cut out with the
Big Shot and
Layering Ovals Framelits before attaching with
dimensionals.
This turned out being a more masculine card than I intended but's classic and would work with any occasion by changing up the greeting. Make sure to check out all the other great cards the design team is sharing and you may find the perfect inspiration for your next project.
