I'm Here For You


As you can probably tell by now, I like cards with a soft look to them.  I keep going back to a couple of stamp sets that I have that make the most beautiful soft looking cards.  One of my favorites is Blooming with Kindness.  I needed to make sympathy cards to sell in the bookstore, so I naturally went to this set.  I wanted simple and elegant, here's what I came up with.


I love the look of Crumb Cake and Pear Pizzaz, soft and pretty!  The flower was stamped onto the Crumb Cake with Crumb Cake ink more than once to have variations of color.  The darker flowers I highlighted with white gel pen to make them pop.  I stamped off the flower before stamping it onto the white card stock, then the greeting was stamped in Soft Suede to make it stand out.  The Pear Pizzaz Seam Binding just adds the finishing touch for me.  The great thing about this card design is you can use it for any occasion and can change up the ribbon color.  I will probably do just that and share it will you later! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Come back tomorrow for Flashback Friday!!

If it doesn't move...stamp it!!

this is an absolutely lovely card, Nicole...thanks so much for sharing it AND for revealing your tips for accenting it with the white gel pen. I was thinking you used a SAMJ and whie craft pad to overstamp it....your clever idea is MUCH easier!

I will also be case'ing this card but hopefully I won't need too many sympathy cards!
