Happy Monday, peeps! Hope you all had a great weekend! It's time for another sketch from Atlantic Hearts:
And I chose this sketch for the second sympathy card I needed to make:
This flower from Unity's March stamp of the month club was stamped in Stazon ink on some watercolor paper, and watercolored with various shades of ink. I know it's probably not the usual theme for a sympathy card but I don't think they always need to be in somber shades. And I love that little lady bug! After stamping it, I stamped it again on masking paper and fussy-cut it out to create a mask for my circular image. I created that by creating a stencil with a piece of acetate and a circle die, then lightly blending some yellow ink inside:
I added some white sequins, then mounted it all on a mat of Basic Black and a card of Old Olive. A sentiment from Close to My Heart went on the inside:
Cassidy's soccer team won their championship this weekend! Now it will on to basketball camp and lots of other summer activities!!
Enjoy your day and be blessed!
So remember today and never forget: the Lord is God in heaven and on earth. There is no other god. Obey all his laws that I have given you today and all will go well with you and your descendants. You will continue to live in the land that the Lord your God is giving you to be yours forever.
Deuteronomy 4:39-40

I LOve that little ladybug in the center of this lovely bloom, LeAnne. I also agree that this will go far in making that loss a little lighter for just a moment. Really lovely.
