The Card Concept....Sympathy

Happy Wednesday Peeps!

Time for a new challenge at The Card Concept.

Here is our wonderful inspiration photo for this challenge:

I took my inspiration from the beautiful palette and of course the flowers.

I found myself in need of a Sympathy card this past week so I decided to use 

this challenge for my card.

I pulled out my most loved stamp from Stampin Up called Best Thoughts.

I used a couple of retired colors on my card, I used some Regal rose and just a bit of Bravo Burgundy. I did not have my Burgundy ink pad any longer but still had the marker so I scribbled a bit onto a clear block to use.

I stamped the flower image onto some Naturals cardstock with Black Stazon and colored using my aqua painter and inks.

The leaves are Old Olive and I used my white gel pen to color the stamens.

The base of the card is Early espresso and then I dug into my stash of retired DSP to find some

Bravo Burgundy paper.

I matted this with some of the Naturals cardstock.

The main panel is matted with Early Espresso card stock.

The sentiment is from the retired Heartfelt Sympathy stamp set.

I used some mini silver brads here and there.

I cut off the prongs on the brads and then used a bit of glue to add the tops.

Be sure and head over to  The Card Concept Blog to see what the rest of the team did with this challenge, you are sure to be inspired to play along with us!

Thanks for stopping by today.
