Hello -
Hubs is working today so I had a little face time crafting with Peggy. Three challenges caught my eye and I am completely out of sympathy cards. I don't care to make them when needed, so I try to make a few when they run out. My preferences are botanicals and monochromatic cards.
Each card is for a different challenge and I am showing them individually in order of challenge due dates.
Freshly Made Sketches gave us a square sketch.
I liked the roundish leaves as the focal point with all the geometric shapes surrounding them.
For the Tic Tac Toe Challenge:
I chose the lower left to upper right diagonal - Diecuts, Twine, Bright Colors.
The Less is More challenge asks for ink blending.
I chose to use a similar shade to the watercolored leaves in a new stencil recently gifted to me by friend Hilary. The blending is deliberately in an ombre fashion.
Thanks so much for visiting. Enjoy your weekend.

difficult to choose a favorite, Cat - love how all three use the same colors, die and yet are so different - and so good seeing you join us at TicTacToe this week.
Three beauties and each gorgeous in its own way, Cat! And so soothing - will bring comfort to anyone grieving!!
Very pretty, not the nicest of occasions to make cards for but you did a great job
All are beautiful as sympathy cards Cat and the monochromatic tones look so pretty. Love the first card and the sketch challenge with the geometric shapes and the rounded leaves, lovely design on the second and what a wonderful stencil from Hilary on the last x.
I absolutely love this color! All three of your cards are beautiful, Cat!
Wonderfully creative and great to have on hand.
Three exceptionally beautiful cards and I really like that you kept them in one shade.
WOW ! The three cards are wonderful in this green shade. Love this beautiful leaves die cut and looks fabulous on all three designs. You totally rock with these cards ! Thanks so much for sharing and for playing along at Less is More.
Three beautiful cards and in such a gorgeous colour too - super work

Cat each one is beautiful and sure to bring comfort to those who need it.
Just love that leafy die! Your stenciling is wonderful - but did you also create the paper panels on the other two? They are gorgeous!

Three wonderful cards, love that colour and the interest in the blending. I think I like the one with the stencilled background best xx
Lovely cards. Congrats on your win for your FMS card.
Wonderful cards, Cat -- and I definitely agree that it is best to make them when NOT needed, it's just too emotional to make them otherwise.
Cat, all three cards are just wonderful. I love the aqua and white color combo and the elegant design of each card with the eucalyptus die in white. I'm so happy you joined us at the Tic Tac Toe challenge this week!
Beautiful sympathy cards, Cat! Love those leaves & the shade of green you used! The square card is my favorite with the perfect use of the sketch!
What a stunning set of cards you've created Cat, that shade of green is beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing with us at Less is More.

A really lovely card my friend!
That die is just lovely, Cat ... you showcased it beautifully on each card with the soft greens ... so serene and perfect for sympathy cards! Hugs, Anita :)
Ooohh, wonderful cards, Cat. That green is so pretty on that lovely leaves die.
