Sympathy cards are one of the hardest to make and send. This past year we have lost several family and friends. I try to have them on hand as funerals seem to come up without notice and I don't always have time to make a card.
The card features the Petal Palette stamp set along with the Garden Impressions Designer paper. I love the Stampin' Up! Blends for coloring images. And the Itty Bitty Greetings fit perfectly in the Classic Label Punch and cover most occasions.
Sunday Sketches SS011
Each Sunday I create a card using one of my card sketches, This week's is SS011. Sketches can help to get your creativity fired up. They are open to interpretation, no real right or wrong way. You can create a card exactly using the sketch layout or change it up a bit. You can also turn the sketch so if it is a vertical sketch you might want to turn it to be horizontal. Let your imagination run wild!
