Sympathy Silhouette

Thankfully, I'm not in need of a sympathy card right now but the challenge on the DRS Deigns Bog starting today is "Feeling Sentimental. "  I thought a sympathy card was perfect for the challenge not only because I used a sentiment as the focal point of my card, but also because there's a lot of emotion associated with a sympathy card.  Plus, my sympathy stash is low and I always like to have those cards on hand.

 

I kept my layout simple and used the Brush In Deepest Sympathy greeting (588G) as the focal portion of my card. I love the elegant look of the Silhouette Branch Background (363H)  and I tend to use it frequently on sympathy cards. Today's card was no exception and I used it to create the pattern paper panel. A simple dark purple ribbon tied in a knot embellished it, and it was layered on top of a dry embossed matted piece of purple card stock.  Clean and simple and easy, peasy--that's what I was going for today! Hope you like it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Faith Crosses

I normally always make cards that are A2 size but while cleaning out some drawers the other day I found a bunch of envelopes left over from my wedding thank you cards.  They measure 3.5 inches by 5 inches and I thought it would be nice to make a bunch of smaller cards especially for thank you's and sympathy cards.

The card I'm showing today uses DRS Designs Triple Crosses (510G), a portion of their Faith Greeting (243F), and I stamped their new Material Square Background Maker (583L) in yellow for the bottom portion of the card front. The layout I used follows this week's My Favorite Things Sketch challenge. I used decorative scissors for the edge enhancement of the card front, fun ribbon and 3 tan rhinestones for the embellishments.

Hope you like it! 

Smiles,

Jennifer
