Happy Friday!!! It's time for a new challenge from the Cut It Up Challenge Blog. This week, the challenge is: So Sorry
Here is my card for your inspiration:
The sister of one of the elderly ladies at our church passed away recently, so a sympathy card was in order--perfect timing with this challenge! Sympathy cards are always a bit of challenge for me. I want to keep them rather simple, but elegant and tasteful at the same time. I started out by stamping my card panel with a crocheted background stamp with white craft ink. I had to stamp it multiple times and it is still hard to see since the card stock is such a light color, but it does give a very subtle texture to the background; you can see it a bit in the picture below.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you will hop over to the Cut It Up blog for the full details of the challenge and to see what the rest of the Design Team has created.
Supplies:
Stamps: Altenew "Rosy Lookout" roses; Papertrey Ink "Boutique Borders: Sympathy"; Our Daily Bread "Crocheted" background
Dies: Altenew "Rosy Lookout"; Papertrey Ink "Boutique Borders: Sympathy"

This is so soft and pretty. Sympathy cards are definitely not the easiest type of card to create! Thanks for sharing with us at both Atlantic Hearts and Beautiful Blossoms :)
Layering stamps really challenge me, and so do sympathy cards. But you knocked both out of the park with this warm and lovely card. Thank you for joining the challenge at Atlantic Hearts.
A very beautiful card, perfect for a sympathy card. x
