Sympathy card

You don't see many sympathy card challenges. It's hard to make a sympathy card.  Sentimental Sundays is having a "sympathy/thinking of you" challenge.  Just two days ago I made this card for my husband's business friend for the lost of his mother.  My DH picked out what he wanted me to use and I just pulled it together.  I thought it was nice that my husband helped with this particular card.  He's always supported my craft/card addiction but has never put his two cents in.

I used a Stampin Up stamp set, but can't remember it's name. It also comes with two sentiments but none that I used.  I sprayed water on the inked stamp and them applied the stamp to paper.  I use this set so much in the Spring and FAll.

  5. Beautifully done and so nice that isn't dark colors that are traditionally used. My hubby is supportive and actually I call him from time to time to give me his opinion when I'm stuck on a decision. It's nice to have support.

  7. This is perfect for a sympathy card, which I agree are difficult to make! Your husband has good taste, it came together nicely. Thank You so much for joining us at Sentimental Sundays this week!

  10. I really love the gentle pastels of this card. Great technique with the sprayed water. I haven't done that in so long. Must remember to use it again soon.
