The Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge 318 and the Color My Heart Color Dare 343 are combined for a Sympathy card for a sweet scrapbooking and crafter extraordinaire friend who recently lost her sweet husband. What a lovely couple! They exemplified what every couple should try to be. So loving. I know he will be sadly missed by my friend. The most recent sketch gave me a pattern to use for her card. The Color My Heart Color Dare gave me the palette. Thanks to both challenges!!
Here is my card:
and card and envelope:
The sentiment is actually on white cardstock. It loooks like there is a slight green tinge to it. Sorry I couldn't quite get the color right.
Here is my warning...there are a lot of pieces for the 4 layouts in the special instructions of the World is Yours bundle kit. Prepare 4 envelopes for each of the layouts and as you cut the pieces put them in the appropriate labeled bag. Just know I'm trying save you from a case of the crazies!! ;-)
Beautiful papers, beautiful layouts, what more could you want. The video goes through me trying top sort the pieces I've cut and the pieces I cut in the video along with the Cricut pieces cut on Cricut Design Space. You don't have to figure anything out as long as you have the CTMH Cricut cartridges Flower Market, Artistry and You Are Here. Make sure that you have uploaded your cartridges to Cricut and the cuts will be available to you with the purchase of the scrapbooking kit or bundle.
I really had a lot of fun making this project. Using my leftover Picture My Life cards, Feels Like Home papers and some sticker complements or elements cut from the 12 x 12 papers from Feels Like Home paper, I cut 4 x 4 and 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 pieces and used the Mod Podge liberally on the tile and paper. As it dries the air bubbles need to be rubbed out from the middle out. I added Mod Podge to the cork and glued that onto the back for easy of washing. I used a sponge applicator but a brush could be used.
The Feels Like Home papers are no longer available but any papers you like can be used in this project.
