Another Sympathy Card

Hi, everyone!  Before I share my card, I would like to welcome my newest follower - Paula Williams - thank you for joining me!  I met Paula on YouTube - please go check out her channel and tell her Kitty sent you!

Today I'm sharing another sympathy card.  I mentioned yesterday that I like to make a few to have on hand as I find them so difficult to make at the time when they are needed.  I made a few more but I'll share the others later.

I have loads of these paint chips in my stash from the good old days when they were trendy.  I still enjoy using them every now and then.  I trimmed off the colour names and popped it up on foam tape.

  • Clear stamp:  Sentiment (Impression Obsession Sympathy Sentiments)
  • Ink:  Your Next Stamp Purple Passion
  • Die:  Memory Box Geneva Vine
  • Other:  Paint chip and clear sequins from my stash

I would like to support the following challenges:
Bad Kitty's Craftroom Purple Day in support of Epilepsy
Cardz TV 42 AG 3/3
Crafter's Castle AG Optional Dimensional Projects 1/3 C10
DL.ART Thankful Thursday Flowers 3/3

    That is a clever idea! I'm always in need of color matching help :)
    Thanks for your comments on my flickr account. Ever since you made your own background paper for Beccy's challenge I wanted to try it. Thanks again for the inspiration!

    Your sympathy card is lovely with the flower and purples! So smart to do sympathy cards ahead of time - I have the same problem!

    So very pretty and great way of using the paint chips. I recall I have a lot of them stowed away too. You have inspired me now! This is a gorgeous sympathy card with that wonderful floral you used.

    This is a wonderful way to repurpose paint chips and it's a great background for the vine die cut.

    Well aren't you the clever one. Every time I am near a paint store I wonder what I could do with those paint chips. I will wonder no longer, I am pinning for future reference. I LOVE this, it's simply stunning, and perfect for a sympathy card, if there is such a thing. Thank you so much for participating this week at the Mod Squad Challenge

    THIS is so pretty! Love the simplicity of it... must try it for sure! Hey! I'm going to the post office Monday! Don't let me off the hook... it's bad... but tax season is over and I'm getting back to normal. I will be seeing you more often... oh! And there is a Love Your Pet Blog Hop going on over at JessicaLynnOriginal and you don't have to use her stamps... thought that might be up your alley!
