Sympathy Card #6

Hello, everyone!  This is the final sympathy card for my Mom as I think six will be enough for now - I certainly hope she doesn't need that many and that these will last a long time. For this one I simply did some basic stamping, so it was a quick card.


I used a neglected wood-mounted rubber stamp from Penny Black called Blush.  I used this one a lot when I first bought it many years ago.  I stamped it several times in Brilliance Pearlescent Sky Blue.  The sentiment is also an older wood-mounted stamp, from Rubber Stampede, and it is stamped in Versafine Onyx Black.  I added some shimmery grey ribbon and a silver butterfly charm.  The stamped blue cardstock is mounted on charcoal-grey cardstock and then onto a blue card base.

I found inspiration in the Forget-Me-Not challenge at Double D Challenges, specifically the blue colour and the flower theme. Here is their inspiration graphic. This is my third and final entry.



I am also linking up to Penny Black Saturday's Anything Goes challenge. I haven't played there for a long time!  They have an adorable new blog badge:
