Praying for You: Sympathy Vintage Labels Eight and Nine

Welcome! Today I have another, you guessed it, PINK card! Seriously, it wasn't planned. . . On today's card I used JustRite's Sympathy Vintage Labels Eight and Nine clear stamps, though I'm using it for an encouragement/recuperation card here.

As you can see from the sentiments above, this set covers more bases than a sympathy set normally does. It's about choices. . . ;-)

Since the floral wreath is solid rather than outlined, I thought that the simplest way to color the wreath would be to use my Tim Holtz Distress markers, coloring directly to the stamp--Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick, and Forest Moss for the wreath, and Scattered Straw for watercoloring around the wreath.

For that top pink layer, I used my Spellbinders 5 x 7 Heirloom Legacy die template; and for its base layer, I used a 5 x 7 Matting Basics A die template. That small sentiment panel in the center of the wreath is cut with a JustRite Vintage Labels Nine die. Ribbon is some Maya Road silk ribbon--ties like a dream.
