Welcome - I am back a bit sooner this time.
I have had to make some sympathy cards this week, and I was running low on inspiration, combined with a couple of stamping errors, when I saw a card made by Lovely Linda on Facebook. I am hoping she may blog it soon.
This is my CASE (copy and share everything) of her card.

My colour scheme was grey rather than brown, my embossing was a Provocraft folder, and I used two stamps as well as ribbon.
I stamped both the cross (a new release from Inspired Stamps) and the sentiment before embossing the card.
I made two layers of a very pale, silver edged, mauve organza ribbon and then tied a bow and added a pearl!
Quick and easy and done in about thirty minutes!! Thanks for the inspiration Linda.
