CAS Sympathy~


With a slow, steady, and controlled hand I set out this morning to make three sympathy cards.  Last week was a tough time at our school and its family.  My shoulder/arm pain is nothing compared to theirs and I needed to create cards for them instead of purchasing cards from the store. I kept the design the same for all three with just minimal changes between them.

Card size 4.5" x 6.25"
Stamps by Lean on Me (silhouette) by Gina K Designs and Beautiful Borders (sentiment, retired) by SU!
Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa
Paper: Gina K Designs Pure Luxury Ivory, Chocolate Brown
Patterned Paper: Basic Grey
Other: Crinkle Ribbon, Mini Brads, Spatter tool, Pear Tart Memento Marker, Corner Rounder, Dimensional foam

Not sure when I'll create again, but it was nice to blow the cobwebs off of not only my work area but also the creative part of my brain. My son walked by when I was creating and said "haven't seen you do that for a long time." Yes indeed, a long time it has been.
