Simple Sympathy

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.

I am linking this to:

Thanks for visiting - may your day be blessed.

Recipe:
Ink:Cobblestone by Vivid
Card Stock - white
Stamps: Cross by Inspired Stamps Inspired Backgrounds, Sentiment by Kiwistamping
Accessories: Ribbon, pearl, Ironworks embossing folder
