Heartfelt Sympathy HSS#184 & DD#100

Aren't these colours for Triple Treat Week at Dynamic Duos so soft and soothing? They would make a lovely birthday or new arrival card, but I have chosen to make another sympathy card. What is sad is that this 100th challenge is the very last challenge for the team at Dynamic Duos. While I haven't entered every week, I frequently use the suggested colour pairs as a reference point.

My other inspiration this week is this sketch for Hand Stamped Sentiments. This is such a sweet sketch, and I decided to use some leaves from the Peaceful Petals stamp set. Shelli's favourite Postage Stamp Punch teamed with a 1" Square Punch are a perfect pair. Eastern Elegance DSP has a lovely Smokey Slate paper for the background. A couple of the DD Design team also used this same paper and as we near the end of the catalogue, these papers will retire,and new exciting ones will replace them. I took the sentiment from Simply Sketched, a hostess stamp set. This stamp set will soon be retired also, as Hostess sets only exist for the life of a catalogue, whether it be a mini catalogue or the annual catalogue. It also has a leafy branch that I could have used instead of Peaceful Petals.










Wishing you a peaceful week

Fire Engine Birthday Card FMS#113

Have you had a good weekend?
Mine was very nice, although I haven't anything too exciting to report. I've had a haircut, read a lot, and crafted a little.
Tonight I decided to cross another "must-do" off my list, and made a birthday card for a grandson turning 4 on December 18th. Oh my, how quickly those years have flown by!
Cindy at Freshly Made Sketches challenged us with this clean and simple sketch, and I decided to mount my new Tape It stamp set, along with You're My Hero (for the fire engine) and Memorable Moments (for the number).

The colours are Real Red, Pacific Point and Whisper White. The image has been punched with the one inch square punch, the coloured squares with the retired 1¼ inch punch.

I've stamped another red fire engine inside along with the 'Happy Birthday' greeting from the set.
Any questions, feel free to leave a comment or email me at rpalmieri5@bigpond.com.

Thanks for calling by
See you again soon
