Blue & Green Sympathy

I'm not sure this is a "traditional" sympathy card, but I did use a whole bunch of stash to make it. :) 

Even the card base for this one was already cut and waiting for me. :)

In addition to the matchy-matchy SU does so well, I find they also do blendy-blendy, too. For example, there are three different greens here (not counting the butterfly) and they work together:

Well, *I* think they do. The card base is Certainly Celery, the green in the paper is Wild Wasabi, and the twill ribbon is Pear Pizzazz. I didn't go to art school, so if this is a known phenomenon, then I don't know about it. I'm just happy it works!

The butterfly was from my UFO pile:

I have a stack of them I heat-embossed on vellum while I was visiting Libby, and now I've finally used one! Thanks, Libby!

I started with this sketch from Unscripted Sketches:

I didn't add the three elements across, so I'm pretty sure I've disqualified myself, but it was still a great sketch for using up all those papers! And now I have one more sympathy card, too.

In other news, guess what season it is:

Farmer's Market! I'm not selling my cards there this year, but I'm still shopping for fresh local produce. Nom nom nom.

I think I'll try to go back to the Gaithersburg Book Festival in a little bit. I stopped by earlier to see when The Bloggess will be speaking, and it's around 4:30. I hope to see her!

Thanks for stopping by!
