Our Thoughts and Prayers . . .

Hello Friends!

Recently I've run complete out of sympathy cards

and since I sadly get many requests for them that's what I'm 

going to be working on today since the weather is going to be

really crappy and I can't go out.

I spotted the sketch over on the Case This Sketch blog and

 

thought it would work perfectly for some fast cards.  Here's my first 

card to share ... 

I have had this Hero Arts stamp & die set for ages and

FINALLY found a design I really think it's perfect for!

For the word 'prayers', I have die cut it three times and glued together

THEN I used Ultra Thick Embossing Enamal (UTEE) and heat set it to get

this beautiful result.

I thought the ivy was exactly what I needed for the vertical element. 

I've used the Sue Wilson 'Greek Island Collection' (CED5102).

After die cutting from lime green card stock, 

I sponged some darker green ink over the top.

Here are a few other challenges I'd like to share in:

Addicted to Stamps & More Challenge #324 - Clean and Simple

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Clean and Simple

City Crafters Challenge #445 - Clean and Simple

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge #423 - Embossing (wet embossed)

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by my blog today!

If you are in the path of this HUGE SNOW STORM,

please stay safe and warm!

As always . . .
