Roses In Winter & Maternal Instincts Sympathy Card

One of my very dear friends lost her mother last week and this is the card I made.

The stem and little flower is from the retired Rose In Winter stamp set and the Mother quote is from the Maternal Insticts stamp set, also retired.

I used layers on the inside (one of my favorite things to do) and also stamped the outside of the envelope.

Recipe: Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery and Whisper White

Sympathy cards for my Cousin and Friend

My Aunt Eva (Dad's sister) passed away last week, I made this card for my cousin Cindy. Aunt Eva's favorite flower was a zinnia. The closest flower I had was the retired Daisy stamp set. I had to dust it off because it had been a while since I used it. I used the Stitched background too give the white a vintage look.

One of my friends recently lost her brother. This is the card I made for her. She loves green so I used Old Olive, River Rock and Chocolate Chip. The embossing was done with the Textile Cuttlebug embossing Folder.

Sympathy Card

One of my dear friends lost her brother last week. This is the card I made.

My friends favorite color is purple, so I started with a Lovely Lilac base. I didn't have any 'sympathy' sentiments so I picked up the "Our caring thoughts..." by Hero Arts at a JoAnn's. I stamped the sentiment in Lovely Lilac craft ink and embossed with clear powder. I used the Stylized Flowers Cuttlebug embossing folder for the background and then my sponge daubers and Almost Amethyst and Certainly Celery ink to enhance the dry embossing. I finished the card with a simple ribbon knot. Making sympathy cards makes me sad.
