Deepest Sympathy {Pemberly}

When I made this card, the day was overcast and rainy.  It makes for a cozy afternoon and maybe the deary skies led me to make a sympathy card.  I tend to steer clear of dark colors for sympathy cards, but at the same time I wouldn't go overly bright.  Enter the Pemberly papers.  Perfect colors!

I tried something new on this card.  I used an X-acto knife to cut portions of the B&T and then popped the pieces up with foam tape.
  

I think if I had a sewing machine set up I would have tried some stitching on this one.  It just seems like it would have worked here.  


I also chose a larger size card.  I think most people usually like to write something special in a sympathy card so I left it blank and open.


See you soon,
Meredith

Happy Birthday Tea Party {Pemberly Papers}

One of my sweet nieces is turning two in just a few short weeks and when I found out a tea party may be in the works, I knew what my card would be.  Well, at least I knew what stamp set to use!

Even though she is a sweet and dainty little girl I couldn't use pink for her card because her favorite color is blue.  I choose shades of a soft dusty blue.

The 'ribbon' at the bottom is made from a folded piece of paper.  I added ink to the edges to give it dimension.

And of course I had to add a little sparkle to finish it off.

Until next time,
Meredith
