I’ve taken a break
from Hallowe’en cards to make a sympathy card featuring a sentiment from the Thoughts & Prayers set by Stampin’ Up! and the Glamorous die from Penny Black.
The current theme
at CASology is cherish, which reminded me I needed to make some cards to start
a sympathy card stash. Why? Well, because every time I need to make a
sympathy card I think about how much I cherish the people who matter the most
to me. And why a sympathy card
stash? Because there have been so many
times I’ve needed to make them this year that I’ve decided to try the umbrella
theory. You know; when you take your
umbrella it never rains. So hopefully
making a stash of sympathy cards will stop the need for them, at least until
the new year.
As I wanted to
make up a few cards I needed a design that was quick and easy, which this one
was. A quick die cut, some inking and
spritzing with water, add in the sentiment and mat the whole lot up. Helps that I think CAS is the best style for sympathy
cards. Quick and easy also happens to be
the theme at Sunny Day Crafting so I’m entering my card there.
Cardz 4 Guys are
looking for sympathy cards, as well as ones for remembrance and just thinking
of you so I’m linking my card up there too.
