Acrylic Markers are my latest crush and though I could have colored the whole card with them, I had my eye on my new purple ink cubes from Simon Says Stamp's Always There Release. Coloring embossed designs has become as familiar as stamping and coloring these days and there are so many ways to do it, but today I have a matching stencil for the Blooming Beauties Embossing Folder to help me make a floral faith card.

Okay, this card, even with its somber tone is kid of a happy accident. It's actually the first of two cards that I made with the Wild and Free Stamp Set from Simon Says Stamp's Always There Release. I totally forgot it had a coordinating stencil set, so I colored it with alcohol-based markers using these sweet colors to make a floral sympathy card. I'll share the ink-pad colors you should use to make this with the stencil though, because that is soooo much easier!

I wish we only need cards for the happiest moments, but showing we card may be most needed during the tough times. Today uses the With Sympathy Stamp Set from Simon Says Stamp's Always There Release offer comfort to the people you care about when they are coping with life's lows.
