Last month, I needed to send cards to two friends who were coming up on the anniversary of the loss of a loved one. I wanted something simple as I was going away and needed to be able to finish them up without a lot of supplies.
I stamped the flowers and then stamped the three part sentiment. It's fun that it comes in parts because you can use different colors of ink like I did here. I intended to color the flowers on both cards blue to match the blue ink in the sentiment. But my coral colored markers caught my eye and I had to use them for the second card. I didn't even use any embellishments, so nice and CAS.Supplies:
Stamps: MFT "Flowers in Bloom"; Papertrey Ink "Inspired Words: Grace"
