Eggplant Sympathy

Secret Garden, Loving Thoughts, Elegant Eggplant, Pistachio Pudding

Snagged this idea of of Pinterest, too!  The Secret Garden flowers were stamped with white StazOn and cut out with the Big Shot and matching Secret Garden Framelits.  The back sides of the vellum flowers were sponged with Elegant Eggplant.  After cutting out the oval with my framelits, I used the Mosaic embossing folder on the Elegant Eggplant cardstock.  The leaves were cut out of Pistachio Pudding (a fabulous new In Color!) and attached with mini glue dots.  I love how this one came out.  This was sent to a friend who lost her dad unexpectedly.  So sad! 

Thanks for stopping by the Stamping Station!

Scalloped Sympathy

There have been so many deaths over the past month.  So sad that I need to make a ton of Sympathy Cards, but I guess that's where we are in life.  This card is a CASE of another one somewhere here on the internet.  I forgot to write down where I found it.  :(  Sorry about that!  If it's yours, please link to your post in the comments and I'll add it up here.  This card uses the SAB DP from this last campaign, paired with Perfect Plum and Always Artichoke.  The stamp sets are Loving Thoughts and Growing Green (ret.).  I love the lattice die and now it adds such a wonderful background to almost any card.

Thanks for stopping by the Stamping Station.

Scallop Weaving Flower

Yes, I was goofing around with another new set.  I made this for my swap with my upline, Sharon.  The ribbon is from the SAB catalog, the button in the center is from the Occasions Mini, the DP is from the Occasions Mini, too!  The Baker's twine is a new color ... Marina Mist.  So pretty!  Usually the weaving on the scallop is a lot more spread out, but I adjusted it so that the whole image in the center of the flower would show.  After adhering the twine on the back with Sticky Strip, I went over 3 scallops and then under two before coming up to go over 3 again etc.  I love the way it showcases the flower and I think it looks good with the Indigo color even though it's not a perfect match.  This fun DP is from the Specialty Sweet Shoppe collection from the Occasions Mini.  Ok.  I admit it.  I went a little overboard on my preorder!  But isn't this wonderful stuff???!!!!  Oh, and even though I played with the colors on the photo program, I couldn't make the Calypso Coral look like Coral.  It's much more orange on this photo and I don't like it that way.  It's so much prettier in person!

Well, thanks for stopping by the Stamping Station once again.
