I promised I would post some pictures later today, so here they are. Sadly 3 of my girlfriends have asked me for sympathy cards in the last 2 weeks. I will let Michelle pick her two, then I will list the others in my shop. This is a lovely Stampin Up set, Close as a Memory. I have had it for almost a year and this is the first time I have used it. The image has a watercolor effect, and my watercolors were a little too bright! I stamped the image in Mellow Moss SU, ivory and olive (I think) are Stampin Up. I should say I know for sure they are Stampin Up, I am just unsure of the names of the colors. I used the Spellbinders Labels 8 Nestabilities and the Spellbinders Deckled Mega Rectangles Nestabilities. I stamped one in black ink, and the other three I used the black embossing powder, I like that better. I glued Cricut flowers to one, used a shimmery watercolor paint on another, used my Aqua painter and some Stampin Up ink on another, and my 2 way glue pen and glitter on another. Well I hope you like these. Thanks for Looking, ~Diane
Very lovely, I just hate making sympathy cards it is so sad....♥
ReplyDeleteDiane, those are lovely, there is just something about embossed ivory paper it is soooo elegant. Hugs
ReplyDeleteDiane, these are so wonderful. I think we all struggle with creating sympathy cards and after I have made some I am never really happy with them. Will they be okay, will it make them sad, did I say the right thing? Your cards are just perfect.

I am always at a loss when asked to make a sympathy card or when I need to make one for someone I know, it's even harder. These came out just wonderfully, though. Beautiful and meaningful and the image is so pretty. You did a great job on these, Diane!
