Colour Creations #20 - Gray Granite

Our twentieth colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is "gray granite" from the neutrals collection. I have chosen gray granite, mossy meadow and blushing bride from the colour coach to work with today for my creation. 

Today I have tried to make an elegant sympathy card with a paper toile design. I have stamped the focal image in gray granite ink, 3 times and fussy cut the top two layers subtracting parts of the design each time. I stamped the sentiment also in gray granite ink and completed the remaining portion of the sentiment with a triple layered die cut also in gray granite cardstock. 
I used the lid of my blushing bride stampin' write marker (and the marker) to create delicate splatters randomly in my background of my whisper white card front and added faux resin dots to echo the random splatters.

Close up of the "paper toile" layers popped up with stampin' dimensionals


Inside card - I had another magnolia left (from stamping on the stamparatus) so I fussy cut it out and popped it up with stampin' dimensionals to create a basic paper toile effect much like the card front. I also added the same blushing bride splatters using the stampin' write markers only concentrated with the focus more on the bottom section of the card

Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop - #36 Petal Pink

Our thirty sixth colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is petal pink from the subtles collection. I have chosen petal pink, soft suede and pear pizzazz from the color coach to work with today.


I used the colours today to create a soft looking sympathy card. It's often a card I find difficult to make and not one I stockpile and keep many in my stash of ready made cards. I again used my favourite bundle from the Occasions Catalogue, well said bundle (I am getting good milage from this bundle!)


I do like how changing the sentiment on this card can result in making cards for other occasions. I have made three different cards very quickly and with not a lot of extra effort.

Clean and simple sympathy card

Custom order for a sympathy card. Certainly not my favourite kind of card to make but mixed this one up with the current addicted to stamps challenge, clean and simple.

Sympathy card, you've got this

Between sick kids, basketball training, basketball games and more sick kids I've made some time for crafting. It's a shame my first real play with new catalogue products was a sympathy card. Hubs uncle passed away recently and we couldn't make the funeral.
I felt you've got this was perfect for a sympathy card and even threw in some of the new in colours (mint macaron and tip top taupe.)
