Some New Stash

Good Morning everyone!  This is my second post of the day; if you are looking for my Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge post, scroll down or click HERE. 
I just got some new Stampin' Up goodies and decided to ink up a couple of sets.  I know I have said this before, but I can never have too many sympathy cards.  It is the most asked for card from people I work with.  Because of this, I have decided to add to my sympathy stash.  I used the 'You've Got This' and Tin of Cards for this card~

I added the word 'with' from a sentiment in the 'Simply Sketched' set.  The flower and the word, 'sympathy' are embossed in gold.  The flower is colored with Copic markers. 
As you can see, I fussy cut the flower out and left off the stem.  I used the leaves, tucking them under the flower.  
I used the sketch from Viva La Verve~

and my colors are from Colour Me...

Thanks for stopping by!

Watercoloring

Hello! 
Well, we have another snow day today, so I took the opportunity to play.  I decided to pull out a set I have not used before and try a little watercoloring with reinkers.

I water colored the image with Lucky Limeade, Old Olive, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Pool Party and Island Indigo inks.  I cut the image out in an oval and backed it with a Deco Label Die Cut that I had sitting on the desk.  It had been stamped in Pool Party with the Canvas Background stamp.  To the background mat, I stamped the grass image and sentiment, Added a banner some leaves and the image panel. 
I used this week's Seize the Sketch  sketch-

I am also entering this card in-
