Sympathy in blue ....

.... Good morning!  We all need sympathy cards in our stash and I find it is always much easier to make them before you actually need them.  Here's my card:

Stamps: CAS-ual Friday Stamps - Loving Thoughts; PTI - Think Big Favourites #3
Inks: Distress - Faded Jeans, Stormy Sky, Broken China, Tumbled Glass, Chipped Sapphire, Salty Ocean; Stampin' Up! - Midnight Muse; Versamark
Accessories: White Lustre Card; Silver Embossing Powder; SU Card - Midnight Muse

This card owes just about everything to my Design Team buddy, Nonni.  When I saw her card for our Addicted to Stamps and More! challenge I knew I had to CASE it.  I love the colour blocks and embossed flowers.  I changed it up on my card by using shades of blue, a different flower and silver embossing powder.  To make the base I masked off areas and sponged on the blue inks.  Then I randomly stamped the flower and heat embossed with silver powder.  I finished the front with a panel of white card and the sentiment stamped in blue.  On the inside I cut a mat layer in navy card and simply stamped a single flower.

Michele, over at CAS-ual Friday Stamps - CFS#1 is having a challenge with the theme being "BLUE", and you must use at least one CFS stamp or sentiment.  I have most of Michele's stamps and had to play along.  I got the theme from the current challenge at MUSE - MUSE#53, where Vicki Dutcher is the Muse with a lovely sympathy card.


The thumbnail display at CAS-ual Friday stamps is absolutely lovely and I'm so pleased I got to play along.  Nonni, thanks again for the inspiration.  See you soon.
