Lovely & Sweet for a Stampin’ Fancy Friday Sketch Challenge

For this month’s Stampin’ Fancy Friday sketch challenge, I have made a sympathy card with the Lovely & Sweet stamp bundle.

I love doing sketch challenges because the layout is already done for me, all I had to do was add my own touches. To achieve that I created my base layers with Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie, and the Nature’s Sweetness Specialty paper.

Next, the focal point was made by stamping the floral image (from the Lovely & Sweet bundle) in Craft white ink on Crumb Cake cardstock. I then colored it with Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lolly, and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends.

Gold Foil die cuts from the Notes of Nature dies, some Gold Faux Leather Trim, and some Brushed Metallic Dots tie it all together to create a cohesive look.

The ribbon and the embellishments are on the list too. The ribbon is not discounted either, but the embellishments are 20% off.

There are actually two retiring lists. One list is for the retiring items in the 2023-2024 annual catalog and the other the Jan-Apr 2024 mini catalog. Click on the buttons below to download the lists.
