Cardmaking is smooth sailing with Eyelet Outlet Boat and Lighthouse Brads. In this design, our Sun and Clouds Brads highlight the sentiment, with Sea Shore and Shell Brads in the foreground; giving this sweet beach scene lots of texture and interest.
Today I made a card that sadly becomes necessary to make or have on hand from time to time. Sympathy cards can be difficult for me. I love bright colors so my normal go-to color palette is usually not appropriate for such a somber occasion. Today's card still has bold colors but also includes whites and blacks to help balance the color out.
This card started by creating an alcohol ink background in blue, orange, green and yellow. I added some silver metallic ink to break up the colors a bit and add something neutral. I cut the panel in four quadrants which represents a cross. Then I made a sentiment to go in the intersection area.
I applied strips of Sparkle Pink Glitter Washi Tape on a pink cardstock panel. Then I added the cut alcohol ink panels on foam tape, leaving borders between the panels. Then I glued the Sympathy sentiment in place and added the rose brads below that in a cluster. To achieve this, I cut off the brad prongs and used hot glue to put them in place. Finally I added one of my favorite embellishments, matte enamel dots.

I used a mini file folder die to create the folders out of patterned cardstock. I added a strip of sparkle pink glitter washi tape across the middle and then decorated with a paper flower, jewel brad, pearl brad, and square jewels, and oval jewels. The jewel bling at the top adds a little sparkle to the label section.

I used a rectangle die to create the card base and cut it out of plaid cardstock. I layered a scallop rectangle over to serve as the sky. I used a grass die to create the grass and also cut it out of the same scallop rectangle so the edges would line up. Then I added flower brads to the stems. You could used the colored daisy brads or any other flower brads. The sun is made of bling jewels and jewel strips and the birds are made of blue jewel strips.
