You’re In My Prayers …. CC217

GK CC217 tppr 525×227

Alas, I have the need for several Sympathy cards at this time.  I replaced the sentiment on my card posted here so it could be sent to my cousin’s wife & daughters.    I wish I could just fly out to California quickly to attend the services, & visit, but, we simply cannot always do everything we would like to do.  😉

The newly posted SCS Color Challenge is to use Cameo Coral, Ballet Blue, and Garden Green on a project.  Welllllllll, for me …. Cameo Coral is at the “edge” of “what??!”   I know …   I do realize that I am quite possibly a minority of “one” on that.  Thank goodness, I live in the U.S.A.!  😉  Anyway, for me, this was definitely a challenge!

I used a lot of “other” embellishments, such as eency weency pearls, attached thanks to the cool new toy given to me by my DD after Winter CHA!  Thanks, Jessica!  The toy?  It’s a “Quicker Picker Upper” by QuickKutz … especially designed to pick up & move little gems!  It’s another one of those “”Why didn’t “I” think of that“” tools … seriously!  Nevermind .. it’s already on the market.  😉

No, I do not own any Cameo Coral ribbon … soooooooo, I pulled some white organdy ribbon across my Cameo Coral ink pad, squeezing the ribbon between a hand-held sponge and the CCoral ink pad ….. until …. Voila’!    Coral organdy ribbon!  The multi-loop ribbon technique is from my sweet friend, Kittie Carriciolo.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!   I have a bit more “personal” stamping to do, likely duplicates of recent posts, and a bit of new “pink” snuggles to capture this week as well.  😉   Oh, how sweet it is to be called, “Mimi”!    Thanks for stopping by today!

    I think you did a lovely job using these colors and that ribbon is just stunning! I wasn’t a fan of cameo coral until I paired it with not quite navy and the cute pig from ‘Walk This Way’ that came out a lonnnnnnng time ago. don’t use it on a lot, but gosh, I used it on tons with that set! 😉

    sorry to hear that you were in need of sympathy cards. may they bring comfort to the recipients. they are quite beautiful!
