Sympathy Card for a beautiful friend

Sadly, I have had to make another Sympathy Card.

This card is for the family (hubby, 15yo daughter and 20yo son) of a beautiful lady.

I will remember her lovely smiling eyes and amazing art work.

Glad to have shared some walks, talks, trivia nights with her and meeting her at my brother's wedding 10 1/2 years ago.  Enjoyed being a moment in  her life.

Sadly she lost her all too short battle with cancer (less than a year), Wednesday morning but will be forever in our hearts.

Sympathy Card

My husband's Aunt sadly past away last Thursday due to breast cancer.

I never had the chance to meet this lady but I know she will be sadly missed by her husband and three kids.

I decided to use cards that Karen has been doing as inspiration.

I started with white Bazzill card then a layer of Stampin Up Barely Banana.  Some more white Bazzill card that I firstly stamped up with some rose images from the Stampin Up Both Way Blossoms stamp set.  I used SU Barely Banana and Apricot Appeal inkspots.  I then ran the card through my Cuttlebug using my Swiss Dots folder.  I wasn't happy with the roses as they seemed a little too washed out.  So punches out some yellow and white medium retro flowers, put together with cream paper flowers and a split pin.  I had printed the sentiment on the computer.  Still need a little something so I added a little black bow.

My thoughts go to the family.

It makes me really happy that I have joined a Relay for Life team and we are helping raising monies to go towards fighting cancer.

Our sausage sizzle last Friday was a huge success.....we raised approx $420.00.

This gives us a total so far of $976.00.

Sympathy Card

Hi everyone, I really love this card I am sharing with you today.  Shame it is for such a sad occasion.  My pen pal from school, father passed away just recently.

I have used Stampin Up card and a Stampin Up stamp set called Organic Grace.  I so love the way the flowers came out.  I printed the greeting off the computer and added the crossgrain white ribbon bow.

Short and sweet today as I am busy getting my day and stash organised for a cardmaking weekend with two of my friends.  Yes, we are taking ourselves off this afternoon to a place called Kurrimine Beach with no kids or hubbies.  We will be cardmaking all weekend which some of my other friends thought was odd and sounded like work.  I reminded them how much I enjoy playing with paper and they thought fair enough.

So have a great weekend everyone and see you Monday.

Sympathy Card

Morning everyone,  this is the sympathy card I have made for my friend.  We are off to her partners funeral today which I am not looking forward to at all.  45...is too young to go.  Apparently, he was just standing there talking and grabbed his chest and collapsed.....all to sudden.

I found this lovely layout at ThinkSpot by Marelle Taylor.  Thought it was perfect for my new Organic Grace stamp set from Stampin Up.

Sympathy Card

Morning everyone, well this afternoon will be full of tears for me I am sure. I am attending a funeral for one of my best friends Dad. This is my first ever Sympathy card that I have made. Normally I just can't create them and end up at the newsagents. This time however I saw a wonderful card at "The Lucky Clucker". Also, purposely, for me I have also set the weekly challenge at Craftmad as 'White with a hint of colour'.

I used a blank pre-scored white card from Blue Edge Crafts. Using my Octagon nestabilities and Ikki's wonderful tutorial I embossed the frame on the front. I then used a brass frame and my embossing stylus to dry emboss the flower image. Added the bow. Printed the greeting on my computer and added silver sticker borders from the Sticker Store.
