Kre8tors Blog Hop September 2018 – Sympathy Card

 

Hello and welcome to September’s Kre8tors Blog Hop.  This month we are showcasing  Sympany Cards. So you may have joined me from the fabulous Jo Blackman .Although as a crafter I enjoy making cards this is one card I do not enjoy making but alas there does come a time when such a card is required.

The set chosen is called Follow Your Dreams and has a matching die set called Chase Your Dreams but you can purchase them as a bundle and save 10% which is fantastic.  I loved the look of this set as soon as I saw it and feel that it can suit any occasion and  thought this set would be perfect for a sympathy card as the dreamcatcher can be used to protect the sleeping.

 I wasn’t sure what colours to use so I looked at colour combinations online and decided Merry Merlot which is one of the new naturals colours would be perfect with Night of Navy and Smoky Slate.

The Dreamcatcher was stamped along with the flowers and feathers (which were cut using matching framelit dies) on whisper white card. The flowers were watercoloured using the inks and aqua brush. Coloured card was used to die cut the dreamcatcher and decorative circle.  As I didn’t have a sympathy sentiment stamp I used thinking of you from Apron of Love which was punched out with the Classic Label Punch.  The background stamp is from Waterfront. A rhinestone finished off the card nicely.

The products I have used are listed below.
