I really need to move on from sympathy now but as I find myself surrounded in sympathy cards I seem to be getting inspiration from them which in turn is showing in my card making, I find this quite strange as normally I would find these the hardest cards of them all to make.
The cross is stamped directly onto the base card in a brown walnut distress ink then a couple of pearls added the sentiment is stamped onto one of the smallest label Nestabilities and then cut out the next size label in a brown card stock both stamps are from Every Day Blessing by PTI.
I stamped the next image by Clarity stamps onto a larger sized label shape and again mounted this on top of a larger one in the brown card stock.
I brought it all together with a chocolate silk ribbon.
You've done it again, Jak. Another perfect card for a very difficult time. Love it.

I really like the subtle colours in this card hun xxx
ReplyDeleteI found this too when Grandad died in September. Made quite a lot of lovely sympathy cards. Think the words are soothing, and it helps to make something pretty to ease the pain.

ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Jak and sometimes its easier to have a card done than to do one in sad circumstances.
