… for a couple of reasons. A very good friend of mine lost her grandpa yesterday to cancer. So, to let her know that I’m thinking of her at this hard time I wanted to make a card. However, I only have one sympathy stamp and it’s a tiny little thing. So, I ended up using the hydrangea stamp from the ‘Because I Care’ set from Stampin’ Up! along with my little sentiment stamp (thanks for the idea Sarah).
I coloured the flower in with nice subtle shades of pink, purple and blue and then stamped the sentiment on a piece of vellum (thanks Natasha for the tip!) to use as an overlay. It’s a pretty simple card, but I didn’t want anything too ‘flashy’ considering what it’s meant to say.

It's a lovely card, Laura! Sorry for your friend's loss. I'm sure she will appreciate your thoughtful card!...Nancy :o)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear of your friends loss, I't seems to happen a lot at this time of year, my friend at work lost her mum last month and she was at her best friends dads funeral on tuesday this week :-(
ReplyDeleteYour card is just perfect, I love it, the vellum really sets it off and softens the whole card, and your colouring-in of the flower is great, a perfect choice of colours :-)
