It's Tuesday which means another weekly challenge is up over at the CAS Colours & Sketches blog. YoonYoung has a fabulous sketch for us to try.
And I had the perfect half wreath stamp in my stash for this sketch.
I stamped the layered wreath using two different colors of blue ink. I nestled the die cut dove into the arc and decided it made a perfect sympathy card. I added my usual of clear droplets and adhered the white panel to a blue card base.
I had no inkling at the time that I would need this card so soon. My neighbor lost his 10 week battle with Covid on Friday so this will be going to his wife, a very good friend of mine. So hard to believe.
Supplies:
The Ton - Pragmatic Wreath stamp
Simon Says Stamp - Turtle Doves die set
Ellen Hutson - clear droplets
I add this to the bottom of each of my posts but it is even more meaningful today....
Continue to stay safe and healthy my friends. _____________________________________________________________________________

This is beautiful Julie. Sympathy cards are always difficult to make. I’m sorry about the loss of your neighbor. You have my condolences.
ReplyDeleteIt really does make a perfect sympathy card. Beautiful shades of blue! Just sorry you have to use it so soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful half wreath Julie. The dove looks perfectly at home nestling in there and the clear dots are the perfect embellishment. I'm so sorry you have lost your neighbour. Sending hugs, Vicky x
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Julie, I'm so sorry! Your friend will surely love this beautiful card - it's sad to need one, but I don't think there is another card that is more appreciated. Ask me how I know.
