Stampin up thoughts and prayers

Today is not only Monday Makeover Madness, but it's the second sympathy card that I sold over the weekend. I made my card at Sue M.'s house last Thursday with our card group. Here is the card by Marisa in its original form... and here is my card. Mine was supposed to look like Marisa's (and Sue's) BUT, I had the sentiment stamped in the wrong spot so I couldn't use the scalloped edged die. Now that I'm looking at it, I could have re-cut another scallop and adhere the circle that I cut from a…

Unfortunately one of my colleagues just lost her father. One thing I took comfort from when my own father died was the number of cards I received from friends and acquaintances. They really made a difference. I checked SplitcoastStampers for inspiration and found a card by Dawn Olchefske. I added more butterflies, changed the sentiment, and for the background sponged an oval instead of using a clear block inked up. I hope she finds some peace during this difficult time.

It's never easy making a sympathy card which is why it's handy to have one in your box, ready for when you need it. I woke up this morning with an idea in my head and I'm happy that it translated into this card. I started with a Smoky Slate card base and stamped the blossoms in Versamark then heat embossed with white embossing powder. I added a panel of Pink Pirouette and Whisper White. The blossom was stamped again in Smoky Slate. I stamped the sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes then added…

This is my entry for VSN "Can you Hear That" challenge. I used the thumping technique on the leaves of the tree from Thoughts & Prayers. I love the way the blue & brown combo turned out. TFL
