Welcome
No, I don't need another sympathy card for myself, rather I have had a request for some!
I started with this rose image, a freebie from STAMPlorations, one that was only available for a limited time, but I have linked to the page where the current freebie is available.
I coloured the rose with watercolours, and added some clear Wink of Stella over it - Oh I love me my WoS!! The image was then cut with a S/B floral Oval die, and a wee bow added.
The sentiment is from ODBD and was stamped in black Staz On ink on vellum.
The patterned paper is from an Amy Tangerine stack, and I embossed it with the Swiss Dots folder, as what I had thought was a random pattern turned out to be mini cameras, and I wanted to disguise it somewhat... this was mounted over an off-white base after all the edges had been sponged with blue ink.

So elegant and beautiful Maxine!
Fab sympathy card!!
Maxine, the beautiful single rose is so very peaceful. I like the die cut and the sweetness and simplicity of the card. Thank you so much for taking time to post your very creative art with us this week at Word Art Wednesday, in our 196th challenge.
Blessings and Hugs, Carole
Maxine, this is a beautiful sympathy card. The rose is gorgeous!
This is very pretty Maxine. You do better with WoS pens than I do. I only have the clear one but I don´t think it adds much sparkle, not like your rose anyway. I also had to make a Sympathy card this week, and hopefully I´ll do a post about it later tonight. Kate x
Sympathy cards are never easy and you did a wonderful job!
Gorgeous and elegant !!
