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

This card is for the new challenge blog Still AddINKtive.  Challenge #2 combines a sketch and color combo.  I also incorporated the sketch from Nacho Average Challenge #29.

I started with a square of Very Vanilla cardstock and sponged half with Tempting Torquoise and half with Summer Starfruit.  Then I stamped the foliage in Chocolate Chip ink.  I layered the square onto a piece of Chocolate Chip and then a scrap of Tempting Turquoise that I cut with my scalloped square duo die.  For the background, I stamped a medallion in Chocolate Chip, then ran the whole thing through my Big Shot in the Script EF.  I layered that on a piece of Summer Starfruit after rounding the corners on all.  

A little tie of Summer Starfruit ribbon helps to bring the card together.  

Here's a list of my Supplies....

Stamps: Foliage from Inkadinkadoo, Medallion

Paper: Chocolate Chip, Summer Starfruit, Tempting Turquoise, Vanilla

Ink: Tempting Turquoise, Summer Starfruit, Chocolate Chip

Accessories: Summer Starfruit ribbon, Scallop Square Duo die, Script EF, Corner Rounder punch

Stylish Sympathy

Boy, oh boy....I have had a time with this post!  Something inexplicably happened to my browse button when trying to upload photos to my blog post.  After much searching for answers and solutions, it was suggested to try posting using Google Chrome. I found that I actually had Google Chrome on my computer which worked.  I usually posted in regular old Google...apparently.  Now, I am not the most computer savvy person on the planet, in fact, I don't know much about them at all.  Most of my learning has come by trial and error.  I was totally panicking when I couldn't post a photo!  Thank goodness I was finally able to figure it out....I think!

Anyway, back to this card.  This one is for a brand new challenge site called Still addINKtive.  The very first challenge combines a color combo and a sketch.

I used my Elements of Style set and played with the spotlight technique.  I neglected to write down the color combo and used Old Olive instead of Wild Wasabi and Pool Party in the place of Baja Breeze.  I knew it was a green and a blue....

I used the little square die from the Apothecary Accents framelits and turned it on it's side to make a diagonal.  I watercolored the images and added pearls to the flowers. The background was embossed with my Lacy Brocade EF and sponged with some Crumb Cake ink.  I added some Vanilla Seam Binding ribbon and a little tag with the sentiment on it.  

Here's a list of my supplies....

Stamps: Elements of Style, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Paper: Pool Party, Sahara Sand, Perfect Plum, White

Ink: Pool Party, Old Olive, Perfect Plum, Crumb Cake

Accessories: Vanilla Seam Binding ribbon, Pearls, Apothecary Accent die, Tiny Tag punch, Lacy Brocade EF, Linen thread
