Thanks

Sympathy cards are never fun to have to make.  But with that being said, I really did enjoy putting this card together.  If you have visited my blog at all since the new year, you know I am trying to use up my "bits and pieces" stash.  So the item on this card is the white sentiment panel.  
 I did harm a single piece of patterned paper for this card.  Everything was created using stamps and ink (and an embossing folder that I highlighted and softened with some gray ink).  Here's a close up of the "patterned paper" and the sentiment panel.  When I remember to do it, I really love adding subtle images to sentiment.

Challenges:
Word Art Wednesday #168--anything goes with uplifting sentiment
The Crafter's Cafe #101--create your own background
Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Wonderful Wednesday--anything goes
Sister Act Card Challenge #91--anything goes
Mojo Monday #383--sketch
Through The Purple Haze #76--anything goes
Cards Galore--use a stamp or digi

Supplies:
Stamps: Verve "Be Blessed" flowers; PTI "Boutique Borders: Sympathy" sentiment; Hero Arts "French Script"
Dies/embossing folders: Verve "Classy Label dies"; Cuttlebug embossing folder
Card Stock: PTI "Lemon Zest" and "Soft Stone"
Inks: PTI  Lemon Zest, Soft Stone, New Leaf and Sweet Blush
PTI Lemon Zest ribbon

    Hi Heather,

    You're right, its never FUN to do sympathy cards, but I'm sure the thought that you hand made one brings a special comfort to someone at a difficult time.

    I know this using up scraps thing, and I am glad for the reminder (beautiful VISUAL reminder) that stamping onto an already patterned paper is a clever thing to do.

    So glad I came to visit.

    Blessings,
    Barb
