Comfort & Hope for Fab Friday

I just can’t stay away from Pretty Peacock – depending on what colors and textures it’s paired with, this 2019-2021 In Color can be energizing one minute and warm the next. When combined with all the greens in the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper, Pretty Peacock is calm and comforting. Here’s my card that features Pretty Peacock:

My card is made for the FabFriday sketch challenge that launches today. Here’s a look at the sketch that inspired my card:

Tips, Tricks and Reminders

• Forever Greenery. I love working with colors, and it’s always a special treat when an incredibly beautiful pack of Designer Series Papers is created to pull together the most beautiful colors in the spectrum. Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper focuses on greens – Garden Green, Just Jade, Pear Pizzazz, Pretty Peacock, Shaded Spruce and Soft Sea Foam. What a gorgeous mix. Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper:Gorgeous, right?

• Comfort & Hope. The sentiment on my card is stamped with the Comfort & Hope stamp set and cropped with a die from the Stitched Rectangles Dies. In addition to the beautiful “comfort & hope” I featured on my card, the set is filled some really great sympathy sentiments and other ways to let someone know you are thinking of them – “know that I love and care about you,” “sometimes there are no words,” and “sending you a paper hug.” Here’s a look at this new stamp set: I framed the simple sentiment with a large heart from the Stitched Be Mine dies:
• Panel Layers. The FabFriday sketch calls for two panels that rest on top of each other and that are positioned slightly askew. Because I featured two designs from Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper (these two are actually the front and back of one page), I exaggerated the degree to which the panels are offset and framed each with Thick Whisper White cardstock. I started with 4″ x 5-1/4″ panels and then whittled away at them (1/4″ at a time) until I found the measurements I wanted to showcase this paper. The final panels are 3-1/4″ x 4-1/2″.
