Happy Wednesday, peeps! Hope you had a good Christmas holiday! The days feel weird, I am all messed up, LOL! I did manage to clean a little space on my stamp table (which looks like a tornado hit it) to make, sadly, a sympathy card. I used the Atlantic Hearts sketch:
After diecutting my circle, I mounted it on a scallop of Smoky Slate and added a sentiment from Lasting Joy and a black gingham bow. The DSP panel was diecut with the Basic Borders die, and to complement the black & white, I added a smaller diecut panel of Basic Black. I admit that the little smaller circle beneath the main image threw me a bit! I ended up diecutting a vellum circle, then adding some bluish pearls round the edge, and one on the floral image as well:
I added a little panel of the same DSP on the inside and a sentiment from Courage and Faith:
It's sad any time to need sympathy card, but it's worse at the holidays. Hope this brings some comfort.
So we got to meet our new great-nephew Coby over Christmas:
He's so tiny and sweet! And of course, we can't forget big brother Cole:
Cassidy was in her glory...she's going to be a great babysitting some day soon!
Thanks for visiting today! Enjoy it and be blessed!

I'm sure your beautiful card, and sentiments will be appreciated, LeAnne. Losing a loved one during the holidays is terrible. Having a new baby to cuddle is always a joy!

Such a nice card. I sure like the Courage and Faith sentiments. I love the pics of the little ones! So cute!
Your card is just lovely for such a sad occasion. The family photos are precious with that new baby, and Cassidy is looking more and more like her pretty mom every day!
I'm so sorry you needed a sympathy card, LeAnne, but it's a pretty one. Look at those sweet little ones! I miss baby snuggles!
Love love love the colors you chose for this sketch, LeAnne. Just a beautiful card. Sweet family pics and joy at a new baby! Thank you so much for joining the challenge at Atlantic Hearts.
The softness of the colours in this is great, you never want to make a sympathy card but it is so beautiful and peaceful, I am sure it will be appreciated. Thanks for playing along with Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge (AHSC).
