So yes – I am playing along with ANOTHER global design challenge. This week it’s a colour challenge.
But I HAD to play along, because this colour challenge includes all of my favourite in colours from this year. I use the colours together in my cards quite a bit, so it was easy to play along this time as far as the colour combination went.
Unfortunately, I had to create a sympathy card for some relatives overseas. Thats not such an easy task, and my least favourite kind to make. So I pulled out our Best Thoughts Stamp set for this challenge.
I like to keep my Sympathy cards fairly neat and clean. So I used some simple layers with card and designer paper for the base and then stamped three of the flower images and heat embossed them with white embossing powder. I then coloured them using Watermelon Wonder Ink and an aqua painter. Cut out layers, then layer them up with some dimensionals.
Now I know my card is for a sympathy card, but you could use this any other occasion too.
Happy crafting.

So beautiful Mel and thoughtful. Sympathy cards are the hardest to make but you have struck just the right note with this card. Thanks for playing at Global Design Project this week.
Thank you Paula. They are tricky to make so I appreciate your feedback 🙂
Mel – what a great use of these colors! Some really great layering on this card – and the vellum sentiment is a nice addition. I’m so glad that you played along with this week’s Global Design Project Color Challenge. Thanks!
Thanks Brian. I love using vellum when I don’t want to detract from the main card image 🙂
