Welcome again - I have had to make another sympathy card today, and I
went for extreme simplicity.

Just texture and a sentiment.
The sentiment was stamped and cut with a Spellbinders classic oval die, and the edge pierced before removing the die, faux stitched with a silver pen and the edges sponged.
The embossing folder was a Sissex by Tim Holtz that I got as part of the class I went to at SENZ.

I am sorry you have had to make another Sympathy card - this is lovely, so simple and elegant! I am sure it will be received with much appreciation. I was surprised when I went to top up my cards at the local shop today when I saw that they had gone through so many Sympathy cards - and Baby cards! Well done my friend! {{{hugs}}}
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely stunning! So simple but so extremely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHugs!

ReplyDeleteI love the White on White and the beautiful Sympathy sentiment.
ReplyDeleteGreat texture, great sentiment, and a GREAT card! So pretty.

So sorry for the need for a card of this type. I try to make min every once in a while so that I have them on hand but I don't like doing it if I don't have to. Gorgeous dry embossing and stitching. This is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a striking card. So simple and elegant. Thanks so much for sharing with us at SSiC this week.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Michelle
Wow this card is stunning, as simple as it is and stark white, I love these kinds of cards
ReplyDeleteThis card is just lovely. I love the faux stitching. I think the three month point is a bit of a milestone...not so much breastfeeding and a little more of routine. Thanks for stopping over at my blog and not giving up on me! I hope to be over here more regularly now.

OH Maxine, what a blessed card you've created here. These are such difficult cards to make but truly the beauty of yours with the stunning embossed background makes it one to warm the heart. Lovely creation! x0x0
ReplyDeleteI saw this on Less is More and I'm totally blown away ... I have this embossing folder, but I never thought to use it like this. I'm actually needing to make some sympathy cards, and I might have to borrow this idea...it really captures the emotion. Thank you so much for the inspiration! Best, CG
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty Maxine. Such elegance.

ReplyDeleteI recently had to make a sympathy card too..not a fun card to make. I love the embossing folder you used for this card...very nice card.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen this embossing folder before. It's really neat, and you made a lovely card with it...tFS...
ReplyDeleteHi Maxine, this card is beautiful and I adore the the texture.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting with me and I apologize for not visiting with you more. I've been looking at your previous cards and they are all very creative and pretty. I am looking at the encouragement card you made for a friend. It's so soft and pretty, I love the postcard look.
I hope you're doing well. Have a great day!
Oo, that's a cool card, Maxine! I thought the stitching was done on a sewing machine and I was thinking "How in the world did she get those stitches so even around an oval?" Well, your technique explains it all, so very clever and a great effect! I'm going to have to try that!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day Hon!
I love, love, love this Maxine! This is such a beautiful embossed card!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Marsha
