Deepest Sympathy



I hope you had a wonderful weekend. It was absolutely beautiful here with the weather in the mid 70s.  We went out yesterday and got some fall pictures of our whole family. Happy to say we have a good photo for our Christmas card.  We asked a stranger to snap a picture of us.  Lucky it turned out!

For my card today, I was inspired by Maureen, at Mama Mo Stamps.  She had an iPhone app and one of her cards featured the gorgeous ink above.  I had to buy it and make a card fairly close to her card from the app. I love the color spectrum and am playing along with CAS(E) this Sketch.  I always love this challenge from the amazingly talented Chrissy.

I hope your weeks all get off to a great start.

This is gorgeous Lynn! Isn't that ink pad amazing? I love those colors for Fall! I definitely need to add a few more Kaliedacolor inks to my stash. Glad you were inspired by my App :)

this is just one ink pad? If it is that is some pretty mazing colours and unusual mix but I like it! So pleased you got the Xmas card sorted, we got to the lecture and the movies....don't think I have said that-but if I did, just out it down to age!!

Sooooo beautiful Lynn! Those inks are just perfect for this gorgeous card. Love the dp behind those amazing leaves; they really pop against it. Love this card, just love it! Have a great week. Mine's full already, but I'm going to squeeze in as much crafting as humanly possible!! Bev

This card is just gorgeous--I agree that the inking is beautiful. What is it, because I think I need one, too. Love the way you carried those colors over to the sentiment, as well.

So beautiful! Like everyone else, I love the colors. How fun that your picture turned out! Especially since it was just a stranger who snapped it! Wishing you could send that stranger (and the beautiful weather) our way for a pic. :)
