Remembering a Warm and Wonderful Lady! #1
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: Chatterbox-1

 Unfortunately, I was in need of several other sympathy cards while I was recovering from hand surgery. This is a card is for the loss of my daughter-in-law's grandmother, whose memorial service was held in late September just before my trip to visit my Mom and sister in California.

I browsed my SCS Challenge List before getting started for some thoughts and ideas, and ultimately I decided to use the same design of the sympathy card I posted to SCS on 12/10/19 but to use purple and pink. This purple one will be for my DIL.

I am also playing challenge catch-up; therefore, I will be entering this into 12 challenges...some more current, and some way back in 2017!

1. CT1119 - Monthly Fan Club November 2019 Challenge - 11/15/19 - "Play List." This challenge invites you to make your own playlist for crafting...music to play, go-to products, favorite techniques, layouts or whatever works for your cardmaking. For this card, I chose music..."Wind Beneath My Wings," which was played at this wonderful lady's funeral. Its tune and lyrics were heard in my head all the while I was making this card.

2. ABC12E9 - Alphabet Challenge, Round 2, Letter E - 11/6/19. My LETTER E is for EMBOSSING. I used both dry embossing to create the Tufted Diamond background texture, and I used white embossing powder on my "Flourishing Phrases" stamp to create the "window" pattern.

3. AOCC19SEP - All Occasions Card Challenge - 9/1/19. This is one of the sympathy cards I needed for September. I chose not to use the bonus: monthly color scheme.

4. MMTPT569 - Teapot Challenge - 6/18/19 - "Comforting Thoughts." The challenge was to create a sympathy card or a thinking of you card. My card is a sympathy card to meet challenge requirements.

5. F4A481 - Free 4 All Challenge - 5/10/19 - "Tilt A Whirl." Challenge is to use angled elements on your card. I used a diamond embossing fold to create a textured, angled background.

6. TLC724 - Technique Lovers Challenge - 1/7/19 - "EOINA: Monochromatic Stamping." Use one color of ink, cardstock, etc. and one neutral (white, vanilla, Kraft, black). I am using white as my neutral and lavender purple as my second color.

7. USEIT2019 - Use It Challenge - annual/ ongoing. You are to use old items gathering dust from lack of use or a brand new item purchased and never used, so also gathering dust. "Flourishing Phrases" is a brand new stamp purchased over a year ago and never opened.

8. MIX306 - Mix-Ability Challenge - 12/7/18 - "Put A Bird On It!" make a card with at least two mediums and add a bird to your card. My mediums are: Copic coloring markers, Pretty-in-Pink ink (oval sponging), and Wink of Stella-Clear (bird's wings).

9. WT690 - Ways to Use It Challenge - 5/31/18 - "It's All in the White Details." I incorporated white as my cardbase and textured embossed layering. I stamped the flourish with Versamark ink onto the vellum and heat set it with white embossing powder to create the patterned oval. I also added a white ribbon as an anchor for the sentiment.

10. CAS467 - Clean & Simple Challenge - 2/5/18 - "Show Me Some Heat." I heat set my oval vellum window pattern with white embossing powder.

11. IC626 - Inspiration Challenge - 12/2/17 - "Paperchase." I used the Pink & Purple Marble Balloons as a color inspiration...see it here: https://www.paperchase.com/en_gb/gif...oons-pink.html

12. FS564 - Featured Stamper Challenge - 11/26/17 = "papercrafter50" aka Andrea D. LaVigne. You have a marvelous gallery Andrea. I wish I could have "played" this challenge when published, but better late than never, hopefully! I chose Andrea's CT0318 Happy St. Patrick's Day by papercrafter40 at Splitcoaststampers card for its oval layout features, but modified to my own colors and other elements to add.

Stamps--Serene Garden (dove), Flourishing Phrases (oval window white embossed design). Dies--Crosses of Hope (cross), Layering Ovals.

Very soft and peaceful, perfect for a sympathy card. I like the quilted background.

This is such a beautiful and elegant design. I really love the embossed background and the soft colors. Even better that you used some older ribbon from your stash. I almost always use twine but ribbon was really the perfect addition to this lovely card.
