It's a sketch week over at
Less is More so I thought I'd give it a go.
Sadly, my first offering for this challenge is a sympathy card that I needed to send to my Mom's friend, who has just lost her sister.
I decided to rotate the sketch (hope this is allowed) as I wanted to 'square-up' the centre of the card.
I used a Hero Arts shadow stamp for the background and then the delightful Pocketful O' Posies (also Hero Arts) to stamp the flowers in Versamark. I added some Diamond Lace Stickles to highlight the leaves and flowers, but this doesn't really show up in the photograph. The pictures look rather pale, thankfully the card looks better in real life.
So I'm back to the craftroom now to try out my second idea for these perfect CAS sketches...

Hi Jo
Great card for a sad occasion........

This is a lovely card although the proportion is not quite as in the sketch... there's not a lot of white space left around the 'square' image.
Condolences to your friend.
Thanks so much

Hi Dotty Jo, I like this idea very much. Subtle yet the colours bring a sense of hope. Thanks my friend for your visit. Greatly appreciated.
I love your CAS style and this card is lovely! I love the shadows behind the simple flowers.
less is more...I agree but I can't accept less:D I always add more and more. You make really beautiful and clean cards. Great work!
Beautiful card for a sad occasion

This is such a lovely CAS card. The colours are very uplifting, sorry it's a sympathy card.
i really enjoyed seeing all our CAS cards, Jo! i think it's difficult to make a beautiful and balanced simple card and you are doing it beautifully! love them all!
Hi Jo, this is a fab design, you've reminded me that I have a set of hero arts flowers (a different set to this), and I've never thought to use them this way - I love the strips of colour that you stamped the flowers on to. Shame it's such a sad occasion, but a lovely card just the same. CoB

I like the silhouetted flowers on the colour strips Jo and the position of your sentiment.
Sympathy cards must be the hardest to make, but this one's a stunner!
