Heartfelt Sympathy...

I have several cards to show you today showcase the Heartfelt Sympathy stamp set.  The first card is from Crew Stamper Reta Daugherty.  This was a swap she made using the Heartfelt Sympathy stamp set and the Floral Wings hostess set.  Gorgeous!

Reta used the Brick Wall embossing folder, the Butterflies Thinlits Dies and the new 2015-2017 In Color Blossom Accents.

This was a card we used in a couple classes based on Reta's design above.  I used the Cherry On Top Designer Series Paper Stack for the base of the butterfly, some Venetian Crochet Trim and a Vanilla Enamel Dot for the butterfly head.  Colors are Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla and Bermuda Bay.  

We also made this card in a couple classes this month.  I used Pear Pizzazz and Mossy Meadow for the color scheme along with some English Garden Designer Series Paper.  The leaf was cut with the Leaflets Framelits (I've been using those a lot lately).  The stamped image has 5 small pearls where the leaves start and I used the Blender Pen to color in the small open leaves.   

Here's a photo with the card open.  I used the leaf as a catch to hold the card closed.  

The last sample uses the English Garden Designer Series Paper as well.  I've added some Tea Lace Doilies and Silver Cord for a feminine accent.  The words were stamped in Blushing Bride and then the leaves were sponged directly on the stamp with Old Olive ink.  This makes a soft, blended look.  Colors used were Blushing Bride, Melon Mambo, Whisper White and Old Olive.
