Hello my crafty friends
I enjoyed this sketch, and it's one I will use again. I had picked up this pad of foiled patterned paper on the Stampin' Up clearance rack, as I thought it would make pretty cards to donate to my Mom's nursing home. Since I'm also running low on sympathy cards so I decided to use some of the paper to make two sympathy cards for my stash.
I had picked up this circle word die from the Stamps of Life - it will work great with a number of my background dies etc, but it also ended up being perfect for the sketch!
Each card is the same inside as well, with a stamped greeting and flower bunch. I added some diluted ink with a water brush to add coordinating colours to the flowers.
This is my first post of the day. I wanted to share one of my Easter Cards for Easter Week here on my blog so I will share my card Easter Card #6 later this morning.
Because it's Saturday, that means a new challenge at the Crazy4Challenges Blog. Our March hostess is Frances Byrne and our Guest Designer Barb Anders - Paper Pursuits. I've long been a fan of Barb's creations!
