With Sympathy

This kind of card is never an easy one to do, but I wanted to keep it as simple as possible.
I used Whisper White as my base and then I embossed the D,Vine Swirls with my Cuttlebug. For the Matte I used Night of Navy(NON). I then coloured in the flower image from the SU Close to my Memory Set in NON and Old Olive. Then from one of the off-cuts of NON I stamped With Sympathy in White Ink and too finish I tied some Dotty ribbon around

Engagement Wishes

This card I found quite challenging my cousin has finally announced her engagement to her high school sweetheart-kind of new it was on the cards but came a bit sooner than expected.
I used SU Not Quite Navy(NNQ) as my Base card next I used Blush Blossom(BB)to matte-first time for using this colour I have then used the Always stamp set from SU and stamped the holly buds in blush blossom. Then with the remaining NQN and the BB cardstock I have then done a second matte,but this time on the BB I have stamped the Daisy flower out of the Always Set with BB. Then with Real Red(RR) ink I have stamped the Heart and the Always out of the Always set onto a piece of Whisper White and cut and punched them out. To finish I have punched out a RR scollop and taped the always onto the RR then I have magic mounted the Heart and the Always up. I have then used Dotty ribbon to tie and knot and Crystal icestickles onto the Heart to finish.
