Sending Prayers
Have you noticed in Blogland that cards are starting to show spring colors and themes? Cabin fever has definitely set in for most of us wanting this winter to be over with! Yellow is one of those spring colors that puts a smile on my face. I needed to make a card for a family going through a particularly hard time and sending a card with a yellow flower might brighten the moment.
I just rec'd my Papertrey Ink release order and one of the sentiments from Beautiful Butterflies is just what is needed for my card. The flower is another new stamp image from Papertrey Ink's exclusive 2012 Anniversary set-Pretty Peonies. I LOVE this set! (It is not for sale, you had to earn it from the previous year) The flower was fussy cut and inked up with Lemon Tart and Summer Sunshine inks using the Rock n' Roll technique. Used some micro-beads to add to the center of the peony. The color combo is from CR84FN49 - yellow, kraft and gray.
The layout or sketch used to make this was taken from a card Susan Raihala made shown here. I love how she can make clean and simple look so elegant. This color challenge will be around for two weeks and I hope to play again with a different theme and layout. Thanks for stopping by for a peek!

Carol, this card is just LOVELY! So PERFECT for a sympathy card! LOVE that bold sentiment and the black bead flower center! May have to pull out my jar of beads again! THX for playing with us at CR84FN!
I love this card. Clean and simple is hard to do well but you nailed it. I have to admit, I didn't care for the anniversary set at release. I think I have changed my mind :)
Great use of the anniversary set and the colors too.

Gorgeous card Carol - LOVE the double bow in the twine :)
Your poppy looks absolutely lovely with it's coloring and layering! what a gorgeous card for someone needing support - that's a great sentiment!
This is so gorgeous and I love how you have created such a stunning card, yet subtle enough for the purpose. Awesome job.

Wow! This is a stunning creation Carol. Can't believe I missed it before. The gray sets it off so well.
This is so lovely, Carol! That peonies set is so great and I love what you did with it. Sympathy cards are pretty difficult to make, and you did a wonderful and elegant job creating this one.
