Just Wanted You To Know ~ JAI153 & RS51

 

I made this card for Just Add Ink 153 and Retro Sketches 51. 

 

I love the color combo of anything with dark blue, especially the new Midnight Muse.  It's so rich and elegant looking.  I also thought this vintage looking designer paper would serve as a nice frame for the sketch for RS this week!  I had to add in the Midnight Muse banner in the paisly designer paper, just because it was a perfect match with the little yellow accents in it. 

 

To tie in the vintage feel, I used crochet trim and three different buttons, which makes it sort of shabby chic. 

The inside of the card says, I'm praying for you.  Unfortuately I've been in need of several sympathy cards lately and I've also had some orders for some, so that may be the theme I will be focusing on for a while. 

 

Here's a list of supplies....

Stamps: Everything Eleanor, Card Chatter-Sympathy

Paper: So Saffron, Midnight Muse, Print Party DP

Ink: So Saffron, Midnight Muse

Accessories: Crochet Trim, Assorted Buttons, Linen Thread, Blue Half Pearl

Beau Chateau Sympathy

This card takes in three challenges: still addINKtive #3, Fab Friday #11 sketch challenge, and The

Paper Players #131-Sympathy Theme.

I LOVED the color combo at still addINKtive and knew I wanted to play along....and I am making it just under the wire!!!  The Fab Friday sketch this week was, well, fab and I am alway in need of a sympathy card, so that was easy to incorporate, as well!  The swirled pink and suede paper is from the retired Beau Chateau pack and was a no brainer pick for these colors....the rest fell into place from there.

 

Here's a list of my supplies...

Stamps: Card Chatter-Sympathy (CTMH)

Paper: Pink Pirouette, River Rock, Soft Suede, Vanilla, Beau Chateau DP

Ink: River Rock, Soft Suede

Accessories: Honeycomb EF, Bird Builder punch, flower trim, Pink Pirouette gingham ribbon, pearls

Aged Denim Sympathy - RS30 & CR84FN63

 

Today's card is for Retro Sketches 30 and CR84FN63. 

I loved the simple nature of this sketch and was excited to use the color combo with it!  My other inspiration for this card was a backround from a game on my iPad called Glass Tower.  When I saw the brown and tan swirled backround on the game, I knew I wanted to use it sometime on a card.  This sketch and color combo happened to be the perfect match for that!!!

 

 

Here's a list of supplies I used....

Stamps: Everything Eleanor, Card Chatter-Sympathy (CTMH)

Paper: Marina Mist, Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Sahara Sand, Early Espresso (sponging)
