Feeling Blue at Charisma

Good morning fellow crafters!  It's going to be a nippy Thursday, but with luck it will be bright and sunny.  Hopefully you and yours can be warm and cozy.  So moving right along....today there's a new challenge at Charisma Cardz, and this week the theme is Feeling Blue.  Nice and easy, and we really look forward to seeing what what you can come up with.  Don't forget to check out the rest of the DT's wonderful creations, for a good dose of inspiration!


I've gone with a sympathy card....one I hope I don't have to use, but it is always safer to have one on hand.  The image is a rubber stamp from Stämpelkällan, and once again I've coloured with copics.

After cutting it out, I cut a backing from black cardstock, leaving just a little bit to show around the edges.  It really helps the image pop against the pale blue background.  You will note that I cut the front of the card a little narrower than the back, which let me add a bit of embellishment to the inside edge.  I love this Romantic rectangles die from Spellbinders....it always adds that bit of elegance.

Now for our very generous sponsors, and the prizes you could win!

PRIZE ONE

    Love this one. So many sympathy cards can be very sombre, but your one is really uplifting. Hugs, Buttons x
