Don't ask me why I made this as I don't really know, I sat down in my craft room and started looking for an image to stamp with and this was the first one I came to, the stamp s made by Stampsmith, I used the new Labels Nestabilities to cut the shapes then stamped the image on the top one and sponged the edges with black ink.
I then used Everyday Blessings by Papertrey Ink to stamp the cross and the sentiment on the card.
I then shoved this to the back of my desk as I new it was a strange choice of cards to make. I suppose grief makes us do things without knowing it. It was heading for the bin and then on after thought I finshed the card and thought I should add it to here, after all many have gone through what I am now and I'm sure they have done similar to me.
Totslly amazing card Jak,i love it,sorry to hear about your dad sweety,thinking of you

You've just expressed your very mixed emotions with this one Jak. They all shine out of this card in ways that few people achieve. It's 10 years since my Dad passed away and I well remember those very mixed emotions. If I'd seen this card at that time, I would have felt calmed by it. To me, it expresses the desperate sadness of pysical loss and the serenity of knowing that he is now at peace. It's a very powerful piece of work. Thank you for having the courage to share it with us.
