No Time To Stamp?

I needed a feminine sympathy card today and I chosefresh Eastercolors with my new Lavender Silk Ribbon. It is 1.5″ wide and works up like an absolute DREAM — so soft and lovely! It is available in 10 colors and 2 widths at My Ribbon Saleabove my blog banner.

Another simple card to put together! I used a favorite old stamp by Penny Black, inking it with ColorBox Chalk inks and stamping it 3 times without re-inking — easy! I cut the image with my Curved Rectangle Nesties and left the image in the die so I could sponge on the yellow shades, leaving my white border. My fancy corner is from my new Flourish Accent dies by Spellbinders. There is another corner the same in the lower right, but it’s not showing. I added a border punched with a Martha Stewart punch, a PTI sentiment, wrapped on my beautiful ribbon and called it done! Oh, almost forgot my rhinestones! Can’t forget those — the finishing touch!!!

Stamps: Blush by Penny Black. Sentiment from Out on a Limb Sentiments by Papertrey Ink.

Paper: PTI White, SU So Saffron and retired Uptown DP.

Ink: Color Box Chalk: Olive Pastel, Warm Violet, Dark Peony, Chestnut Roan, Yellow Citrus; SU (to sponge) Barely Banana and retired Marigold Morning; Versa Fine Onyx Black for sentiment.

Thanks much for stopping in today! I also need a masculine sympathy card by Friday, so that should be up soon. Masculine sympathy cards are definitely harder for me — I have less appropriate stamps for them, but I’m sure I’ll dig something up!!! I’ll probably focus more on the sentiment than on an image — yes, that’s a good idea! Thanks for listening while I figured that out - LOL!!! Hope you’re having a great week!!! See you soon!!!
