Here is another card using the vine image/flowers from Its Elemental. Today is the LAST day to get FREE shipping!! Cool deal.
I made this sympathy card for my great Aunt who is 82! She lost her “friend” Gus last week. He died having surgery on his gallbladder. So sad.
I wanted a SOFT yet cheerful sorta card-if that makes sense! LOL! Im just extatic that I didnt use a butterfly image-but dont think it didnt cross my mind! 😀
So, I stamped the vine on Kraft cardstock, in choc. chip, and the leaves in caramel. I used a versamagic ink for the flowers. To add to the softness I punched some vellum flowers with my EK Success flower punch (just like SU), and put some Saworvski Crystals in the center. I I stamped a vellum layer with my dotted image called Behind the Scenes (really love that set) with craft white. Added to the softness I think.
Used some double sided May Arts satin ribbon, and stamped the button image. Sentiment is also MFT and is called Lotsa Love.
I hope it cheers her up a little bit.
Thanks for looking!
Off to stamp for some deadlines and do more cleaning for preparation for Amber’s Party! She will be 3 on the 13th but we always celebrate the first weekend in August cause it is our town Annual Hot Air Ballon Rally.
She is having a DORA themed party SAME as last year!!! I tried to get her to choose something else but it was a NO GO!
Oh well.
Check back tomorrow for more stuff. I got 2 cute Fella’s that will be visiting! (wink) Thanks to my friend AmyR.
