Sympathy Cards

 I needed a couple of sympathy cards and used some stamps I hadn't used before.

The first card has stamps from "Sketchbook Bouquet" by Taylored Expressions.  The background panel is "Ornate Banner" from Pinkfresh Studio.

The second card has a floral stamp that I received as a gift from Altenew.  The sentiment is "Deepest Sympathy" by My Favorite Things.  The stitched background panel is from "Matinee Rectangle Layers" by Memory Box.  I used Tea Dye Distress Oxide ink.

Aloha Birthday

Tropical stamps and dies are very trendy these days, and a good friend who loves Hawaii has a birthday this month, so that works well.

The flowers are from "Happy Hibiscus" along with "Aloha"  both from Lawn Fawn.  The leaves are "Lovely Layers Monstera Leaf" from Honey Bee Stamps.  The background is "Woodgrain Texture" from Hero Arts.  I used a blender brush to blend Distress Oxide Inks: Worn Lipstick, Spiced Marmalade and Mustard Seed on the flowers, and Shabby Shutters, Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness on the leaves.
