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.

Eight maids a-milking,
Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying,
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves

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.

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.
