Sympathy Cards

 Afternoon friends . . .

It's been a crafty busy couple of weeks and sorry I didn't have much to share with you here on the blog during that time but finally today I have a few sympathy cards to share that I made a few weeks ago but was waiting for a particular stamp/die set to show up in my mailbox so I could finish them and share.

Here ya go . . .

I have used the Altenew 'Frilly Peonies' 3D embossing folder to create my card fronts using a variety of Tim Holtz distress oxide inks for the coloring.  I've used coordinating Nuvo Crystal Drops as a dimensional accent.  

The stamp and dies used for my front & inside sentiments are a set from the TON called Easy Expressions 'Sympathy'.  It's a separate set of STAMPS and coordinating DIES.

I took an hour this morning and stamped them off in a variety of colors so now they are ready to go whenever & what ever color I choose to create more sympathy cards for my November craft show.

  2. Beautiful in all these luscious colors and a great addition to your sympathy card collection for the show. I love how you've shaded the embossed design. Such a good idea to take time to make some spare sentiments.
