I blended a background with DOX inks in Aged Mahogany and Tea Dye, adding a bit of Melon Berry (PTI) and a few spatters. I love the softness of these colors to add subtle contrast to the pale grays and browns in the cotton stems. They were stamped in layers and die cut. Keeping the card simple in style I added one frame and a sentiment on white card stock. Both are on foam pieces for added dimension.
The sentiments in this set are perfect for many occasions. I especially love this one for a sympathy card.
I also found a new challenge that inspired my card at Inspire.Create.
Hope you're glad you came by! I sure am.

Another pretty card with your stamps from The Greetery! What a nice sentiment and stamp combo. Lovely blended background. I'm sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well. Some bug trying to get a hold on you, perhaps. Feel better!
Oh Cindy, this is beautiful! Love the softness of your background, really makes your sprig of cotton pop! Hope you feel better soon.
I bought this set after seeing your card. Using these soft colors makes such an appropriate card for get wells and sympathy cards.
