Sympathy Card ~ Soothing Nature {1st Post}

I would like to thank Candace and Michelle
from Jaded Blossom for the challenge winner
gift certificate I put towards my order.
I got this wonderful set and a few others.

It has been a hard week.

Two of my co-workers lost loved ones.

I made this card for one of them, who lost his

beloved mother-in-law, to share with his wife and children.

These cards are always the hardest for me to make.

This one just seemed to be the right fit for them.



*Card 5.5 x 4.25 in.

*Tree and sentiment from the Simple Sayings stamp set from Jaded Blossom.

*Embossed using the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots and D'Vine Swirls folders.

*Circle cut using the Spellbinders Standard Circles Large die set.
*Scallop circle cut using the Spellbinders Big Scalloped Circles Small die set.
*Rhinestones from Darice.
*Ribbon from Offray.
*Memento Tuxedo Black stamp pad.

May your day always be filled with love.

Crafty hugs,

D~
