One of my favorite sets in the 2010-2011 Idea Book and Catalog is a “carry over” set from the Summer Mini Catalog- Elements of Style. You can stamp the images and watercolor, use pastels, markers or just allow the image to remain plain and it still makes an elegant card.
With Sympathy
This evening I decided to pull this set out to create a CAS (Clean and Simple) sympathy card for the family of an older lady who was part of an Adult Bible Fellowship class that I used to attend- she went to be with the Lord this week and is now at peace with her Savior.
Stamp Sets: Elements of Style, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black

This card was originally created for a demo swap earlier this spring and I made a few extra for some of my closest friends. This card implements the SU! Markers for coloring along with "antiquing" using a sponge dauber.
