Wishing You Peace

The first bluebonnets of the season are beginning to bloom here and there across the great state of Texas. Soon the roadsides and hillsides with be blanketed in blue. To us this time of year seems like a little piece of heaven on earth.

 Today's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored design is a sympathy card featuring images from their Bluebonnets Multi Step Clear Stamps with words pulled from various other sets. I wanted something decidedly feminine. I created a pocket by cutting off part of a 3-D embossing folder called  Ornate Lace by Crafter's Companion for the beautiful bluebonnets to peek out from.

Color Recipe for the Bluebonnets:

Layer 4 - Memento Paris Dusk
Layer 3 - Memento Danube Blue
Layer 2 - Stampin' Up Balmy Blue
Layer 1 - Stampin' Up Barely Banana on the tips of the flowers only

Color Recipe for the Leaves and Stems

Layer 1 - Stampin' Up Sage Shadow
Layer 2 - Stampin' Up Sage Shadow
Layer 3 - Stampin' Up Mossy Meadow

I am entering this design in the following challenges:

    I really miss seeing the bluebonnets right now. Hopefully I'll get down that way before they're all gone. In the meantime though, I love looking at them on your card. Beautiful.

    I'ver never seen Bluebonnets irl but always thought they looked beautiful in pictures and your card reflecting them is a delight, so striking with the white embossing against the blue. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Stamping Sensations Spring challenge.

    Very pretty card. I love how you have used the embossing folder, cutting it away and using it to overlay the flowers and the blue and white are striking. Hope you are safe amid this virus. x
