Hi peeps! I don't normally do two posts in one day, but I wanted to get this card in for the Paper Craft Crew sketch before the deadline because I thought it was a nice one!
You might remember I made a sympathy card for my friend Sharon, who lost her aunt on Christmas day. Ten days later, she lost her mother, her aunt's sister. I just can't imagine the grief of losing two cherished family members within two weeks. Anyway, Sharon loves the beach and her mother's favorite color was blue, so I combined those two elements to make her a sympathy card:
Although the DSP is really a sky photo, it reminded me enough of the beach to use it! The card base is Pool Party, and I embossed the Island Indigo panel with the Seaside EF, then added some ribbon embellishments and a sentiment. More details are in the project menu below.
Hope you have a wonderful day. And since I already shared a Cassidy photo today, I thought I'd show you our sunrise on this beautiful but COLD morning:

A beautiful card, LeAnne! I love that you made this with some of her favorite things in mind. That paper is growing on me and is a perfect choice for this lovely sympathy card.
