Stenciled Love & Sympathy

This is for today's COLOR CHALLENGE # 568 - Saffron Gray Sky and Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 571 - Naked Stamping.
I sponged so saffron using Tim Holtz Sunrays stencil in the upper right corner then sponged soft sky in between the rays and the rest of the front. I stamped the sentiment and image in smoke slate. I had to use my smoke slate marker to color some white ribbon. This is matted on soft sky then white card base. I did stamp on the inside but something happened to my pic and short of time no time to go back upstairs and retake it.

So here is the inside. Hope you like it.

A Celebration of Love and Sympathy

This is for today's COLOR CHALLENGE # 511 - Old Cake Whisperer, Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 514 - The Ones Have It, and Monday's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 305 - Welcome the New Year. As odd as it may seem including a sympathy card in on a Celebration challenge it is with joy that one of our Choir members is saying goodbye to her 100 year old Aunt who was so dear to her heart. To have lived an entire Century is a celebration in itself but to be in the arms of our Heavenly Father is truly a celebration.
I stamped the image then trimed around it so that the sentiment would be visible then stamped the sentiments all in old olive ink. I tied some ribbon in as close as possible to crumb cake color and was finished. I hope she will love this sympathy card created just for her.
