Sometimes, we need a card for a sad reason. but I don't want my design to be sad. Today is such a day. I need a sympathy card for a special friend. Here is what I designed to send her.
Looking at my stash that will be retiring on May 31, I pulled out Awash With Flowers and Well Worn Designer Series Paper. It's all straightforward. Two layers on the card base, with the two right corners rounded, and lots of strands of Early Espresso 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon and Hemp Twine.
I stamped on the inside, repeating the main flower from the card front. I think this card says it all. (but, of course, I'll add a hand-written personal note, too.)
So, while I have always used bright and happy colors with this stamp set, today I used them in a more solemn way. Plus, I devoted some time to sending a special message to my friend. Nothing demonstrates this as well as a hand-made card!
