I was asked by Retro Rubber Challenge Blog to be a guest designer on their blog this month. It was a color challenge, all pastels. If you know me that was a bit of a challenge as I do love earthy colors.
I don't normally use bright colors for a sympathy card but I was in need of one and was going to use flowers on it so I went with using it for this challenge. My stamp is from 2009 and I colored with my Spectrum Noir markers. Hard to see but the lightest flowers are a light blue, and the others are yellows, I had to add a bit darker green so that I could tell the leaves from my flowers.
- Northwoods Rubber stamps - Mini Tulip in Clay Pot, 2009
- PPD - Stitched Mini Scallop Border die
- Taylored Expressions - Care & Comfort II stamp sentiment
- Liquid Pearls - Mint Green
- Paper from stash
It is fun to get out our old stamps and play with them, I hope you do and join in the challenge this month!
Thanks for stopping by,
Connie

WOW! Congrats on the Guest Spot and you have certainly met the challenge! This is GORGEOUS! Beautiful overall design ... I simply love it Connie! Great job!
I don't think the lovely colours in this sympathy card are too bright at all. The pastel colours are perfect for a sympathy card, as are the lovely details.
Congratulations on your GD spot, Connie! I think this is one of the best challenges because it gets us to look into our older stash of stamps. This is a pretty card with the tulip vase and you did great with these colors. It can be nice to receive a sympathy card with pretty colors like this.
Great layout for your sympathy card and that pot of flowers is perfect in the pastels.
This is so pretty and absolutely perfect for a sympathy card.
