Sympathy - Cross and Blossoms

I will most likely use this for a sympathy card.  The stamp, one I have had for a long time, is Cross & Blossoms,  by Paper Inspirations.  I stamped it on subtly patterned paper - all in tones of blue/blue green.  The mats and leaves are a dark teal.  The strip on the left  (patterned paper) is from a set of banner dies (Spellbinder) that I have had for a while, but have not used - so they are new to me. The leaves are from a Sizzix die, and the background is a butterfly folder by Darice.

YNSC18 Thank You

The YNSC18 challenge is to use brown, yellow and orange. I used this sunflower (from a WishRAK member) colored with Prismas, and some DCWV fall DP. The embossing folder is a new one for me - Sizzix Fall. The sentiment is Fancy Pants. and the punch a Martha Stewart border punch. http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/fo...o-t562088.html The sketch: http://sundaysketchandstamp.blogspot.com/ I used the leaf EF and leafy DP  :http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.com/
