With Sympathy…

Sympathy cards are ones that I find very difficult to make. I always seem to be at a loss on where to begin. How can you convey how you feel?…simply…you can’t. This is a card design I made a few weeks ago for a good friend of mine. She lost a precious pet that was very dear to her. I decided to just make a very pretty card design and attach the purple velvet bow with a little dog bone clip.

This design uses the Silhouette Blooms 1 stamp set from Cornish Heritage Farms. I know you’ve seen me use it a lot but really…I just love it so much, I just can’t stop! I over-stamped the silhouettes with my Spanish Script Backgrounder and added the sentiment and some sponging on the edges. This is one design where I didn’t use any patterned paper. I created my own with the Pretty Pattern Backgrounder. After adding a little stiching, I turned up the image edges and added a couple brads by Creative Impressions. The dog bone clip and some May Arts velvet ribbon finish it off.

Wishing you a very happy Monday! It’s a short week so I’m off to get things done!
