Sympathy card

   What a beautiful weekend this has been in Northern Virginia. Friday in the 70's, yesterday in the low 60's but with 50 mile an hour wind. But hey, it was sunny so how can I complain? Today is nice out also...enough that I could wear sandals while running a few errands. AND The Washington Capitals won this afternoon so I am very happy!
   I made a sympathy card to share with you today. This has to be one of the hardest cards to create. I'm sending it to my friend Joan, over at Joan's Garden, because her mother passed away last week. If you've never been to her blog, please visit her and share some love. She carries everything you need for your papercrafting  in her shop.



Supplies:


Paper-Paper Tempress, Papertrey Ink, Bazzill
Stamps-Natures Blessing, Impression Obsession
Copic Markers-V000, B60, G20, Colorless Blender
Memento Ink in London Fog, Stazon Black
Ribbon-Papertrey Ink (plum pudding)
Misc-ScorPal, Nestabilities, CM corner punch

Enjoy your week!

Valentine's

I absolutely love Valentine's Day and all the hearts and flowers and love that goes along with it. Maybe because I know that Spring is following close behind! *LOL*

This card was made to go along with the gift tag that I posted below. I made a 6 1/2" by 5" card using cardstock from The Paper Company. I added two layers of Valentine prints from K & Co. The sentiment "for you" was cut using the Cricut and the Doodletype cartridge from Bazzill cardstock and the hearts were cut with the scalloped heart nestabilities. The center of the cutout hearts were used on the gift tag. And I always use my glue glider to put my layers together.
