Simple Generosity

I have time for a quick post tonight before I settle in to watch game 7 (the final one!) in the Capitals/Rangers hockey playoff series. The Caps haven't performed the best in the playoffs over their franchise history, but hopefully this year will be the start of a turn-around. Go Caps!

I have a pair of clean and simple cards to share tonight that I made using images from the Generosity set from Clear & Simple Stamps. The sentiments in this set make it so versatile!

This card uses a panel of bright but elegant flocked paper to highlight the "thinking of you" sentiment. I stamped the single rose image next to the sentiment and colored it with Copic markers. The sentiment is matted on a scalloped circle and layered on the cardfront with dimensionals.

I kept the embellishments simple, just a piece of black satin ribbon and a trio of small self-adhesive pearls, to keep the focus on the sentiment and paper.

Materials Used:

Generosity stamp set (Clear & Simple Stamps); Tuxedo Black ink (Memento); markers (Copic); Basic Black and Shimmery White cardstock (Stampin' Up!); Hibiscus Burst cardstock (Papertrey Ink); circle and scalloped circle dies (Nestabilities); black satin ribbon, self-adhesive pearls, flocked paper (Target)

This simple sympathy card pairs the same floral image from the first card with a different sentiment from the Generosity set.

Again, I kept the layout very simple. Here, I stamped the single rose image and sentiment directly on a white panel. I embellished it with a simple celery satin ribbon, then layered it on coordinating papers to complete the card.

Materials Used:

Generosity stamp set (Clear & Simple Stamps); Tuxedo Black ink (Memento); markers (Copic); Barely Banana and Certainly Celery cardstock (Stampin' Up!); celery satin ribbon (Michaels); white cardstock (Georgia Pacific)
