Stampin' Up! You Are Remarkable Sympathy Card

Good mid-week day, peeps. My card today is cut with the same die as yesterday but different flowers. I love this die but it's not Stampin' Up! However, the flowers are! I used the You Are Remarkable Stamp Set for the flowers, the Unbounded Love Stamp Set for the sentiment, and the Quiet Reflection Stamp Set for the inside.


I used Light & Dark Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Blends for coloring the leaves and the centers. The sentiment is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.

For the inside...

The mat is Old Olive card stock and the sentiment is stamped with Old Olive Ink. The image is stamped with Smoky Slate.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you'll be back tomorrow for our Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop.

Stampin' Up! Friends of the Ocean for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Thank you for stopping here from wherever you came!! We have a color challenge for you today and here is a thumbprint of what I created for our hop...


                                             May be a graphic of text

                                               

Let's take a closer look at the front and inside, shall we?


 


My card base is Berry Burst card stock and the Designer Series Paper is Friends of the Ocean (available in the Last Chance Products as of the creation of this card!). 

The sand dollar is from the Seaside Wishes Stamp Set and is cut and embossed with the Seaside Wishes Dies and Hybrid Folder. I sponged it with Basic Beige and wished I hadn't. 

The "love you" sentiment is from the Seaside Wishes Stamp Set. "Time to Celebrate" is from the Round We Go Stamp Set as is the "Happy Birthday" inside. They were stamped with Berry Burst and Pumpkin Pie.

For the star fish images inside, I used a stamp from Seaside Wishes. I stamped them in Calypso Coral, Summer Splash, Pumpkin Pie, Lemon Lime Twist and Melon Mambo. 

The fun fold design was inspired by Mary Anne Cowan. There are other videos on You Tube for the fold, but I saw hers first!

Measurements in inches:

Base: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4; cut top left at fold to bottom right corner 

DSP: 4 x 5 1/4; cut from top left corner to bottom right corner

Basic White inside: 4 x 5 1/4

Smaller card: 3 x 8 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4

DSP: 2 3/4 x 4

Basic White inside: 2 1/2 x 3 3/4 

Again, thank you for stopping by! Clicking on the "next" button will take you to Akiko. Clicking on the names listed below will take you directly to team members and their projects. I hope you enjoy all the creativity.
