Sympathy

I found out today that a very dear friend lost his brother last week so I made a card for him this evening.

I used the From the Heart stamp set called Time to Bloom colored with Copics and die cut with MFT Inside and Out Stitched Rounded Square Stax. I printed and cut out some of the flowers. Soe are popped up and others are flat. I die cut some Spellbinder Foliage leaves and used Mowed Lawn distress ink to give them some contrast. The background is embossed with the Leafy Branch embossing folder. I embellished with 2 thin stirps die cut with the MFT Pierced Fishtail Flags. The butterfly (also colored with Copics) and the sentiment is from the Time to Bloom stamp set. I used the I {heart} sketches with a Twist.

The twist this week is show off your coloring skills. My skills aren't great but I thought it turned out fairly nice.

I am entering these challenges:

• I {heart} sketches with a Twist #154: sketch and coloring
• Craft Your Passion: anything goes
• Simon Says Wednesday: anything goes
• Through the Craft Room Door: anything goes

Hope your week is off to a great start. Thanks for stopping by. I have a bunch to do this week as I have to give training this weekend for our Girl Scout Day Camp. I was up this morning at 4:15am because I thought of a new craft and had to make it. Man, I hope that doesn't happen every night this week or I will definitely be sleep deprived by the end of the week. LOL! Have a super tomorrow.
