Wishing you comfort


In honor of Sarah who is leaving the Play Date Cafe Challenges, the colours this week are black and white with a splash of green. Right up my street. I combined this challenge with this weeks Make It Monday from Papertrey Ink. I do find green a calming colour which I think is very suitable for sympathy cards.


This card is a little more involved than my recent ones. I again used a woodgrain stamp to clear emboss the white cardstock as I did on my recent venture into white on white. Then layered some die cuts and a stamped circle over a piece of ribbon.

I apologise for this next photo - the weather is crazy here at the moment! Sun, rain, hail, storm force winds, we've had it all the last few days!


Debby

Supplies:

Stamps - PTI turning a new leaf, wishing you, Hero Arts designer woodgrain
Inks - Versafine onyx black, spanish moss
Card - PTI ripe avocado, true black
Dies - PTI mat stack 1, mat stack 5, Spellbinders circles
Ribbon - PTI simply chartreuse
Adhesive stones

    Okay, I was wrong -- I absolutely DO need that Mat Stack 1 die (I already have #5)! What a beautiful combination with the two layered together.
