Unfortunately, the holiday season is no respecter of persons and I found myself in need of a sympathy card this week. I thought the sketch from Connie & Mary was perfect:
and I had a chance to break out my new SU set from the upcoming mini, Easter Blossoms:
The image is stamped on WW textured paper in Basic Black and colored with markers, then spritzed with my Spritzer and a Pink Pirouette marker. I added some pearls, satin & grosgrain ribbon, and the sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes is overstamped with the same image:
I can’t wait to play again with this set and its other images!
I want to thank all of you who have sent me cards….I have treasured and enjoyed every one of the them! I wish you all a wonderful Christmas---I probably won’t be posting again until next week! May your holidays be filled with smiles!
Leanne I love the card, I think I get asked most for Sympathy cards. I hope you do find time to make a card for the Mashup... not really sure how many people are going to be doing any challenges this week.. and I really really love your stuff!!
