Tonight I had the chance to get crafty and it has been long overdue! I have missed so many challenges and I desperately wanted to get inky tonight!!! I hope this weekend I will have some more time to play again!!! Tonight I am playing along with Paper Smooches, the Colour Q , Simon Says Anything Goes and the MOJO Monday Sketch!!!
I wanted to use Gray as my "other" colour. I guess I was in a grayscale mood. I paper pieced the jar on some soft gray paper and stamped the flowers in black ink. I used some AC textured white paper for my card...as I was aiming for a more clean and simple look.
Gorgeous card Lesley,,, simple and perfect ! I love this whole design :-)
ReplyDeletethanks for joining us on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

I love the soft polka dots against the black. Gorgeous card Lesley!
ReplyDeleteI knew that Paper Smooches had a 'with sympathy' sentiment but I could never quite picture what to do with it. This is lovely. It's subtle and elegant but it's cute enough to be hopeful. I love the banner treatment - the little ones are so subtle but a very nice touch!
ReplyDeleteLove your card Lesley. The mason jar with those flowers are just perfect. I have a mason jar on my want list.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty sympathy card Lesley!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sympathy card. Love the polka dotted mason jar. Great way to combine all the challenges.
ReplyDeleteI really like the black and white and gray combo!
ReplyDeleteHi Lesley. I love this done in black, white and gray ... perfect for a sympathy card. Lovely design and love your paper pieced jar. Loll xx
ReplyDeleteMost people wouldn't think of gray as a pop of color but you made it work.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Lesley....what a pretty image. A perfect sympathy card, and I think even done in the soft gray and black, it is quite striking. I like seeing bright colors with black, but this is unique and I love it! Thanks for playing with us this week at the CQC!
ReplyDeleteWell you won me over with your polka dot jar!! This is wonderful Lesley and those tiny banners behind the larger one are a delightful addition. Thanks so much for joining us at the ColourQ!
