Thinking of you Flowers

Photo Details

Poster: stampin'nana

For today's TPT and CC: A very soft ripple. I thought about using an ef on the card base but changed my mind-rather liking the smooth look a lot. I sponged the vanilla while still in the nestie, did some two-step stampin and stamped off the full stamp before stamping on the cs so the outline stamp would show up better. I also sponged a bit around the sentiment. I'm low on sympathy cards, and I'd rather make them before I need them. Thanks for stopping by today! ~Roberta

Very pretty Roberta..I like the sponging around the edge of the nestie..it really shows off your raspberry flowers...simple yet elegant design which is perfect for a sympathy card.

Ah, I was sure this must be for TPT when I saw it come through the approval queue just now :D. I have that set and don't use it enough - when I see somebody else using it, it always inspires me to pull it out again. The colour challenge works perfectly with it :D.

Beautiful card with today's colors, Roberta. Love the shape of your floral panel and the soft shading makes it stand out. There is a lovely "directness" to your card.
