Two more sympathy cards . . .

I am having to make too many of this kind of card lately. I don't think I ever have made this many in a year before, never mind a month. These cards were for colleagues who lost a parent. Being pressed for time, I made them almost identical. I just changed the width of the border around the flower. This is another favourite stamp of mine from Penny Black. So soft and pretty. I resisted the urge to add any colour and left it stamped in a soft grey.

Inside of both cards:

Hopefully these are my last sympathy cards for awhile. Thanks for stopping in and God Bless.

With Sympathy

I decided to try my hand at watercoloring with distress markers on this CAS sympathy card. I wanted a soft look and decided to add shimmer in the end with my wink of stella marker. The flower is an older one from Gina K, but still love it so much! I also used ivory card stock from Gina K. I rarely use ivory, but thought the occasion was fitting of something softer.

Buzzzzing by with 2 cards

I love this sweet little bee from stamps of life. I used a similar design on both cards using a technique with distress inks that I learned in the Stenciled card class. Stencils really are soooo much fun. These cards were made for colleagues who are away on medical leave. Hope the cheery design adds some sunshine to their day!

Have a fantabulous day,

More bubble stencil cards . . .

Quick post today . . .  I love this design so much, I just had to do it again for a couple of thank you cards. Loving the stencil technique with the distress inks. I really like the variety of stencils available and all the cool patterns.

THANKS for stopping by,

Deepest Sympathy

Sympathy cards are my least favourite type of card to make, but I was thrilled this one for my Aunty Lil turned out so soft and pretty.

Cherish every moment,
