Rose Sympathy

Yippee - I have some cards to share with you! Yesterday while Jim went to have coffee with friends, I went into my stamping room. And during the night, when I should have been sleeping but I was wide awake, I went back into my stamping room. And then this morning when I got up (after just about three hours of sleep) I went into my stamping room to take pictures of the cards I had made, and I finished one more! It was fun. I now have six cards to share. Nothing spectacular, but it's a start. (We also tackled our closet yesterday. We took EVERYTHING out of it, except for the hanging clothes that we decided to keep. When we moved in four years ago, the master closet became the "catch-all" and we had never gotten around to fixing that. Yesterday was the day. We've not quite finished putting everything back into it, but we've pretty much gone through everything. THAT feels good, too!)

Anyway, back to this card. The stamped and matted rose was in my card parts. I believe the stamp is from Inkadinkado and was colored with markers. The ovals were cut with Nestabilities. I mounted it on foam squares. The sentiment is from Papertrey. The image was stamped on a textured paper and the cardbase is ivory.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

This is so pretty! I really struggle with sympathy cards. This one is absolutely perfect. I can totally relate to your 2am stamping session. I have totally been there. :-)

Yay, Lynette! It feels good to get those projects done, doesn't it? Including the stamping. You sure accomplished a lot! Lately I haven't felt able to stamp unless I've gotten other things done first. Had a couple of those sleepless nights again, too. It sure is good to see this beautiful CAS card today! I love the rose stamped on the textured paper. It couldn't be prettier for a sympathy card. I have to finish up some birthday cards and then work on sympathy for my stash and for a friend. At the rate I'm going, though, I'll never get caught up.
