With Sympathy

We've all had occasion of needing to make a sympathy card... it's not easy, is it? I think from now on, I'm going ot make a point of having some on hand, because I find the whole process kind of daunting... especially when I know the friend who has suffered the loss.

I mean, you just want it to be right, but the image, colours & glitter hardly matter in the end. It's just that you thought of them I guess.

I dug out one of my old favs from SU - this beautiful stipple rose and I coloured it up with my copics. I coloured extra roses and added them with foam tape and added a little glitter for a bit of a frosted look.

On the inside is a sentiment from Verve. You can always rely on Verve for just the right thing to say... in a beautiful font. How can a stamper ask for anything more??????? =)

Again with the butterflies...

Hi everyone! Just popping in quickly with a new card. I guess I'm on a bit of a butterfly kick lately... but I love the vibrant colours of this one. It's been one of those stupid-crazy-busy-weeks at work and I just had this "craving" to come home and "make something pretty". And it worked... I feel normal again. (whatever that is...??)

Have a wonderful weekend. Nothing much in store for me other then checking out a few shows my DVR has taped and more then likely maybe another "pretty" card. LOL.

Friends

I make a lot of friend cards so I couldn't resist getting this stamp from Stamping Bella. After I coloured these gals up I didn't have much in the way of matching paper until so I was happy to find this dp from "October Afternoon" - it has every colour I used... love it when that happens! The sentiment is from an SU! set I got ages ago (can no longer remember the name).

Hope you're having a great weekend!
