In My Heart

Hello Everyone!  I know all my Northern Hemisphere friends are enjoying the beginning of Summer and many are preparing for end of school year, but here in Australia it's turning cold and there are just a few days left before the (winter) school holidays.  Today it's chilly, grey and raining a bit.  Blech!!!  :(  I had to help a friend make a sympathy card over the week-end and it occurred to me that I really should have a few of these in my card stash because you never know when you are going to need one.  I saw this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge and decided to play along!  It also qualifies for the Crazy 4 Challenges challenge this week to use paper flowers!!  :)

I started with a base of white and layered with dusty blue bazzill and then another layer of white that I embossed with the Nat EF.  Next I took two pieces of Memory Box Frond DSP and matted both with more blue bazzill - the vertical panel I punched the border with my new Martha Stewart Iron Gate Punch.  I then stamped the sentiment from ODBD's From Me To You set in Our Daily Bread Steel Blue ink and cut it out with Petite Oval Nestabilities and matted with the matching scallop in blue bazzill and popped it all up on foam tape.  I then pierced all around the oval.  I then added a piece of ribbon across the bottom and topped it with some blue Prima flowers that my BFF Edna gave me for my birhday and added a couple of punched green branches.  To finish I added a couple of pearls to the top corner.
