MFT Sketch 266

First craft show for 2016 over the weekend was a success! 

We did much better than I expected! We will definitely be part of this show next year.

After the show I was so exhausted. But then, my MFT mail had arrived!!! I got my new "toys" (stamps) and couldn't wait to get crafting. So I looked into MFT's weekly Sketch Challenge.

Here's my take on the sketch:

I've been meaning to make a few more sympathy cards. This sympathy stamp set has so many great sayings and words of comfort.

Here's another card for this week's Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes:

Recently, my friend asked me for a few sympathy cards for his patients. This was one of the few that I made for him. Originally, I intended to watercolor, but my painting skills still needs work. Thankfully, I got out my Stampin' Up stamps and found these flowers similar to the ones I had envisioned.

To add the final touch, I added pastel dots and a black/white washi on the sides. Lastly, I used some fun foam and popped the panel up to give it some depth.
