Ahhh, time for our next theme at My Pumpkin Challenge #0915 - A Touch of Gold!
There are some truly gorgeous elements in this month's Pumpkin, with just delicate little touches of detail.  I love this - so it's not too ornate!  I'm starting out with the sympathy sentiment, and I decided to cut up the other cards to use to go full size in my final result.  It's been quite enjoyable to go through my stash and identify all my little bits of Vanilla embellishments to use with this kit!
Hop on over to the challenge to share your Midas touches - can't wait to see!
Chalk It Up To Love Paper Pumpkin; plus, Basic Black, Pink Pirouette & Very Vanilla (inside) CS; Encore Gold Ink; 1/4" Black Grosgrain; Basic Jewel Jumbo Pearl.

Nacho Open Heart

Oo, I really like the right-justified look of this week's sketch at Nacho Average Challenge #153!
So, sympathy cards are so hard to make sometimes.  So much so that I don't ever tend to have them on hand when I need them, as much as I always swear I'll get better about it.  Who ever wants to plan ahead for this need?  It always feels off for me somehow.  Today is a quick stab at getting something in the stash for a friend that I think is going to need it soon, sigh.  I love the gentle colors I went with, and the natural elements of this set, An Open Heart, so much.  I'm going to be so bummed to send this one, though...
An Open Heart Stamp Set; Pretty Petals DSP; Mint Macaron, Basic Black & Very Vanilla CS; Basic Black Archival, Smoky Slate, Soft Suede, Mint Macaron, Calypso Coral & Old Olive Inks; Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch (retired.)

Oh so happy - time for another sketch with Fab Friday #66!  I can't take it anymore - and I MUST PLAY WITH NEW TOYS!
This is definitely a week that I'm taking over-the-top liberties with the sketch.  I guess I don't feel much like little squares today - and I also feel like fussy cutting!  So, I turned the sketch sideways, added a flower, and re-ordered my layers.  So there!  "They're more like guidelines," really, right?
So I can't wait to see what you have for us this week - come be Fabulous with us!
You've Got This Stamp Set; Tip Top Taupe, Watermelon Wonder; Mint Macaron & Whisper White CS; Gold Encore, Watermelon Wonder, Mint Macaron & Tip Top Taupe Inks; Gold Embossing Powder; Spring Flowers Embossing Folder; Banner Triple Punch; Dotted Lace Trim in Tip Top Taupe; Basic Jewel Pearls & Jumbo Pearls (retired.)

and a new make-up class on Thursday, June 18 at 6:30 pm.

Such a pretty inspiration pic at Just Add Ink #261 this week!  SU-per Challenges #88 seems perfect to go with it with their flower challenge!
For this one, I decided to concentrate on the colors, as well as the botanical elements.  I'm so in love with the neutrals combined with Lost Lagoon and Pool Party - so cool and sophisticated.  Bloom With Hope seemed a natural choice, and a lovely sympathy offering besides.  So pretty.  In trying to imagine the circumstances I might give this in, I tried to keep it pretty clean and simple, too...

I knew as I saw this wide open field in this week's Sunday Stamps #80 that I needed to find a color challenge to match it with - and Fab Friday # 46 came along to save the day!
As I got to poking around trying to decide what to do with this combo, I realized that for two of the colors in this challenge, I have Blendas - guess that means it's time for me to actually try my hand at coloring an image with them now!  Since I just got Bloom With Hope, one of our awesome new Hostess sets, in a shipment last week, I thought maybe one of these flowers would be a good place to start.  I also hoped that the pen-and-ink style of the images might help obscure any Blenda-Blunders I might make, too!  Turns out, I was worried over nothing - SO easy to use!  And no penalties for going back and dabbling more and more!  The paper is still totally smooth - no pilling or bubbling like happens sometimes with aqua-painters...  Just make sure to give your ink layer 30 seconds or so between layers once in a while - the ink continues to blend and smooth as the alcohol continues to evaporate.  It's hard to photograph how much more depth my colored image has now.  I'll definitely be doing more with these yummy pens!  (And check out those rhinestones I colored, too!  Woo hoo!)

Doesn't this week's Nacho Average Challenge #79 look like a southwestern sunset?  I think so!
I therefore decided to do a 180 from that color scheme - cool blues and greens are in order!  I have so loved the patterns in the Venetian Romance DSP, and the colors, yet I haven't found much occasion to use it, sigh...  Lucky it pairs so well with this stamp set - I love how organic it comes out, a nice touch for a simple sympathy card, hopefully...

Sweet Dreams, Macaroon...

We received an email from our vet's office this weekend that the beloved office cat, who has served as pet ambassador for all the time we've known them, passed away from his long bout with cancer.  He was such a sweet cat.  He slept on the counter (or the phone, or the keyboard) but was always up for a chin scratch and a snuggle.  He was endlessly curious about everyone who came through the doors, whatever species!  So good for our excitable canine hoard as well, he was always totally calm, even when he needed to deliver a corrective nose-swat to the overly familiar.
We'll miss you, Mac.  Go with love.

This week's dramatic sketch at Paper Craft Crew #63 gave me a chance to ink up another new stamp set - the hostess set Simply Sketched.  The main thing that caught my eye with these stamps was the gorgeous images - just right for coloring!  For today's card, I couldn't decide which one I wanted to use, but the sketch let me trot out all three - gorgeous!  Always good to make sympathy cards in a island of calm - I never seem to have them when I could use one, sigh.
Simply Sketched stamp set; Pear Pizzazz, Perfect Plum & Very Vanilla CS; Soft Suede, Pear Pizzazz & Perfect Plum inks; Pretty Print embossing folder; Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border, Large Oval, 1 3/8" & 1 1/4" Square punches; Pear Pizzazz Taffeta ribbon.

Simple Sympathy

All I could think about for this week's Clean & Simple #257 was how to show that graceful curved edge in a different way other than adding paper or piercing to the bottom of the card.  What if I could show that curve with a natural shape, make that the focus?  I knew I could do it with the beautiful Sunflower image.  I sized the card down to a square to make the proportions line up a bit better, and after a bit of coloring, left it pretty spare, just right for a sympathy card.  I so rarely have these on hand when needed, but it seemed to fit...

Clean & Simple Butterflies

This week's Clean & Simple #253 gave me the idea to look for different shapes I could group together again - there were so many possibilities, it was hard to pick just one!  I ended up with butterflies for circles!  I also felt like this might be a gently cheering card for condolence as well, which led me to the sentiment I used.
I seem to be really stuck on these springy colors these days - hm...  I do have gardening on the mind!
