The Pinkfresh Studio's World Card Making Day Challenges close in just a few hours. Luckily, I had time this afternoon to make two more cards. One for the Sympathy Card Challenge, and one for the Thank You Card Challenge. Both use Never Before Used Stuff again so I'll be linking up to Darnell's NBUS October Challenge.
First off, the sympathy card. I like CAS cards with neutral colors for sympathy cards and this definitely fills the bill.
Although I've owned the Botanical Circle die for quite some time, I'd never used it before. I had, however, die cut it in several colors, one of them being white. I thought there was just enough contrast with the Soft Stone background, and then layered both on a top-folded card base made from Smoky Shadow. Both cardstocks are from Papertrey Ink.
One thing I've discovered during these challenges is despite my very lovely collection of Pinkfresh Studio products, I don't have a lot of sentiments to choose from. This one, however, is perfect and is from their Oval Foliage Wreath stamp set.
Next up is the first of the Christmas thank you notes. I just purchased the beautiful Winterberry Background stamp, and embossed it in gold on Asparagus cardstock (Gina K).
The sentiment is also a product I've owned for some time and never used before. I love it, and I'm sure you'll be seeing it again. It's the Simon Says "Thankful 2" die.
I die cut the shadow with vellum, and the main sentiment from the same gold cardstock (Michael's) that I used as a narrow layer on the card.
It's a beautiful fall day here, 20° cooler than yesterday, but a lot less wind, and no threat of rain. Here's hoping for a couple more weeks of decent weather before winter weather appears!
