Hi peeps! How’s thing going? Vera here. Today, I have 2 floral beauties to share with you all.

First up is this sympathy card I made using the Watercolor Wreath stamp along with its coordinating Watercolor Wreath dies.

When it comes to sympathy card I always try to go with soft colors. Here, I stamped the card base with Magnolia Fields Cling Background using Versamark ink. I like adding subtle background that can add interest to a card without overwhelming the design.

Once that done, I stamped, heat embossed, die cut, and watercolored the wreath and flower from Watercolor Wreath set. Adhere to card base with pop dots. For the sentiment I went with one of my favorite sentiment set from The Ton called Penned Sentiments.

Here’s a close up look of the card. The magnolia background is very subtle.

Now, my  next card, we shift gear a bit. In case you didn’t know, the theme for this month challenge from The Ton is holiday. Basically create any project with holiday theme. Well, Christmas is my favorite, so I thought I create another holiday card hat hopefully inspire you to play along with this month challenge.

I have to say that I sure do love using this gray tone for my card base. My go to base tend to be white, very soft teal or blue and this gray. For this card, I used the Cozy Poinsettia stamp along with its coordinating dies.

The sentiment is from Holiday Love Poinsettia set. For finishing touch I added some sequins from Sugar Cookie Couture Mix. Also, if you’d like, once you make  your card & enter it to The Ton challenge, you can also mail it to Caring Hearts Card Drive. Double whammy!
