with sympathy - brother and sister in law

 Saturday December 17, 2022

This card I made for my brother and sister in law. Her mother age 99 passed away last week. They were very close to her and saw her daily. She was a wonderful lady. Her husband passed away a few years ago and he was in her 90's also. They are now together. I feel for them as the loss of a loved one is hard and one you saw daily changes their daily routine.  

I used Stampin up dies and layered the flowers two time to give some depth. I used the Paper Trey Ink sentiment and finished with just a few left over diamond painting drills. 


This is a side view just to see the flowers a little bet better.

Hello

Welcome back.. It's the first of December. I hope your festive holiday month is stress free. Space out your time and enjoy. It's a quiet month at our house. 

We have a new challenge over at 
Our theme is 
Non Traditional colors

For my card I used black watercolor paper and using Co-motion snowflake stamp heat embossed the image. Then used my Paul Ruben metalic watercolors and added colors. I set it aside and let it dry. I then took some glitter paper and Simon Says die and added a few layers to give it some thickness and added the sentiment to the card. 


Side view so you can see more color and the sentiment better without it being washed out from the light I used for my photos

Hello

It's time for a new challenge over at 

I am the host so got to chose the theme..
BIRDS


I just couldn't resist.. I know it's close to Christmas and probably could of gone that route.. But I was also thinking of the snarky sentiments from Tim Holtz too.. So I just went with it. I have other Christmas cards to post .. I stamped and used copics. I die cut out and went for a few scraps and created the background. I then added the birds and sentiment. I finished with a few left over diamond painting drills.. I just love those cute faces and thought the sentiment fit the look.
