Midweek, so ... downhill to the weekend!

Morning readers,

I was recently commissioned to make a couple of sympathy cards ... regular visitors may recall the dilemma of the other one, as I was asked to make it so it could be a sympathy card but might also do duty as a general card to uplift someone simply feeling a bit bleuchhh - this one's a straightforward sympathy card though .....

My card
 
The front, back and inside of my card along with the front and back of my envelope

Materials used:
  • White A2/C6, 250gsm, card and matching sized envelope
  • Two pieces of white card cut to fit
  • One piece of grey card, cut to mat
  • Snippets of card in ) both the white and the grey, for my image panel and sentiment panel
  • Kaisercraft wood grain image stamped using Ranger Archival grey shadow ink
  • Kaisercraft marble image stamped using Ranger Archival watering can ink
  • Inkadinkado wheat ears (from their "Meadow" set 60-30496) stamped using Versafine onyx black ink
  • MFT splatter (from CS-97 "distressed patterns") stamped using Memento lilac posies
  • Clearly Wordsworth sentiment (from VO009 "Everyday Greetings") stamped using Versafine onyx black ink

Lovely card, very suitable for the occasion. Just flipped back to find 'happy /sympathy' card. Blimey what a request! Great card though.

I adore that image Kathy and it looks great in the black and the woodgrain and marble background suits it perfectly. x
