Happy Thursday, peeps! I hope you're having a great week so far. Unfortunately, I needed another sympathy card for a family at church, and the sketch from Atlantic Hearts was perfect. Here's the sketch:
I recently got some pretty papers from Kaisercraft called Pen & Ink; they have vintage designs, so I pulled a few out to make this:
I used four different patterns from the pad; the butterfly one has shiny black embossing on it, which really gives a cool effect! I added a little scalloped border of Sahara Sand, a bow of Linen Thread, and a border of stamped gingham.
I stamped a Bible verse at the top, then diecut another panel from the butterfly print and added a black scalloped mat and a couple of Metallic pearls:
On the inside, I stamped a verse from a Papertrey set, along with a butterfly from Positive Thoughts, which I wish I had done differently, but hopefully the recipient won't mind how odd it looks, LOL!
I like the neutral, calming colors in this pad....so soft and pretty! Thanks for popping in today!
Ever hear of a spaghetti taco? Apparently it's a thing!
Enjoy your day and be blessed!

I'm loving the soft color palette on this card. Sympathy cards are always hard to make for me, but the bible verses are perfect! No, I never heard of a spaghetti taco, but I have a friend who makes spaghetti pie on a regular basis :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous papers, and wonderful layers, LeAnne... love the butterflies and neutral colors!
ReplyDeleteHowever, I think I'll be happy just seeing Miss C eat those tacos. ew.
