Sympathy in Blue

Hello Again!

Cold weather tends to mean more crafting, doesn't it?  Cold weather has been rolling in here in St Louis.
Sadly, I needed a couple of sympathy cards this week.  33 is too young for cancer to strike.  It certainly makes you think about eternity. 

My colors are from this week's Color Throwdown Challenge~

I love this peony from Studio Katia and it really needed to see ink.  I played with my new Daniel Smith Watercolors- I really love how this turned out.  I hope it brings some comfort to my friends.  The sentiment is from Sweet n Sassy Stamps, though I think it may be retired.  I added a navy strip of card stock and mounted on a Very Vanilla card base.  Some paint spatters and sequins finished off the card.



Have a blessed week,

Christmas Wreath

Hi Everyone!

Quick post today, sharing a CAS Christmas card I made for one of the Dare To Get Dirty Challenges at Splitcoaststampers.
I used goodies from the Junkie Fest retreat including- Gina K Wreath template, Catherine Pooler stamps, MISTI and Studi Katia~

Stamp set is Candy Cane Lane from Catherine Pooler; it was stamped using the MISTI and the Wreath Builder Stencil from Gina K. and is embellished with bling from Studio Katia.
The sentiment is from my favorite snowman stamp set, Welcome Jesus, from Sweet 'n Sassy stamps.

Thanks for stopping,

Have a blessed week!
