Sympathy

Hello,
 
I started a Christmas card at the beginning of the week but first I was distracted by an inspiration photo and now by a colour.  The CASology challenge is a colour - brown.  I made a card Silhouette, earlier this year, using a brown colour scheme and it came together very easily. 
Supplies:  White and brown card, Judikins image, PTI sentiment, Distress inkpad, Kaiser pearls.
 
I am going to try to make a few sympathy cards as I  don't have any.  The day I was to leave on my vacation my mother-in-law asked for a sympathy card.  What a bustle but I managed to do it.  This card will be a start as brown lends itself to this sentiment.

Silver Christmas Tree.

Hello,

I went to a Craft Show in September and I bought three Penny Black stamps.  Two of them were Christmas stamps, a wreath and a tree.  Both are fairly simple stamps but I have already made a few cards using both stamps.  I have become interested in simply trying  different colour combinations.  Tonight I have used the Christmas Tree.
Supplies:  Black card, Penny Black image, StampIt sentiment, VersaMark inkpad, Hero Arts embossing powder, Kaiser rhinestones and Pearls.

Variation

Hello,

I am trying another variation on the wreath card.
Supplies:  White and green card, Hero Arts background, Penny Black image, Arte Stamp sentiment, Distress inkpad, Kaiser rhinestone and a ribbon.

In reality the colours look better and I like the colour combination but I think the background swamps the image.

The wreath is a new stamp that has given me lots of ideas, some of which just haven't worked.  One I haven't tried yet is a kraft card using the image.  Too late now I am about to be picked up to go to Tullarmarine airport.  I will be flying out later this afternoon.  So exciting!  Although by the time you read this post it will be the last day of my trip

Supplies:  Orange card, Hero Arts digital image. Computer generated sentiment and Gel pen

It really doesn't look like the ad but I retained the colours and the cityscape.

Get Well

Hello,

Recently LIM had a one layer get well challenge and I just couldn't get it to work.  I was trying to add a drawn frame around the image and every time something went wrong.  Eventually I made this card but didn't post it because it wasn't a one layer.  At present I am holidaying in Europe so I thought this was a good time to post this card.

Supplies:  White and green card, Tiffany Doodles image, Stampin' Up sentiment and Lyra pencils.
