I used the Stampin’ Up! Thinking Thanks & Peace stamp set to create a sympathy card to share with you today.

I started by adhering a panel of Harvest Meadow DSP to the front of a Sahara Sand card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Then I adhered a panel of White Vellum to the card front with Stampin’ Seal placed under the center area of the card.

I adhered a length of 3/8″ Diamond Weave Ribbon to the card from with Stampin’ Seal.  Then I stamped the sentiment from the Thinking Thanks & Peace stamp set in Early Espresso ink on a panel of Sahara Sand card stock with the Stamparatus.  Then I inked the flower image from the Nature’s Harvest stamp set in Early Espresso ink, stamped it on scrap paper and then stamped it over the sentiment.

I colored the stamped flowers with Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Old Olive watercolors pencils from the Water Color Pencils and Watercolor Pencils Assortment 2  and then cut the image out with one of the Seasonal Labels Dies.  I adhered the die cut with Stampin’ Dimensionals and then added two Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots to finish the card front.

I stamped the sentiment from the Prized Peony stamp set and the flowers from the Nature’s Harvest stamp set in Early Espresso ink on a panel of Basic White card stock to finish the inside of the card.

You can see a list of supplies used to create this project, including the card stock cuts, at the very bottom of this blog post.
