sympathy circles

Sadly, I needed a sympathy card for a friend who just lost her dad. This is what I came up with and it seems to fit into the new challenge at Sunday Stamps called going in circles, so I am adding it there.

I used an Altenew background plate and Hero Arts Infinity dies to cut circle frames. Then using some scrap CS from GKD, I die cut the flowers using a Memory box die and stamped leaves then used the matching dies from Altenew and SSS. The sentiment is from an older GKD stamp set. Embellishments from my stash. For some additional definition on the leaves and flowers I added a bit of ink.

Before adding the background layer to the card front I went around the edge with a distress wheel. And in case you are wondering, the little bit of glitter you see at the bottom edge is a piece I did with resin and glass along with alcohol inks. I used it to hold the card flat for the photo. I’ve been working in our garden a lot as the weather is perfect and some of these resin pieces will become garden decor when they are finished. I have to say I’m pretty tired and sore from the outside work so I’m pleased I managed to make this card without major issues.

Thanks for stopping by, your time and any comments you leave are truly appreciated.

  5. Unfortunately we do have to make sympathy cards, but this one should give a special hug to your friend. I enjoyed the background and the spray of flowers on the front.

  9. Thanks Golda. It looks as though card making this week will be nothing but sympathy cards. I was commissioned for one which I did yesterday, but we learned that the former receptionist from my hubby’s company passed away very suddenly as did a favourite client. Now I need to do 2 more.
