Another sympathy card

Photo Details

Poster: corinnesmith

I don't have any sympathy stamps, but a friend asked me to make some for her mom...so I'm trying to improvise. I really like the way this one turned out. I used an old stamp set w/ flower image from garden whimsey. I sponged river rock and always artichoke on the main image to age it a bit as I thought it looked bettter w/ the basic grey dp. What do you think?

Beautiful! Love the softness of the sponging. I have that dp and now I have inspiration to actually cut it.

Beautiful! I think Sympathy cards are the hardest cards to make on many levels. Love how soft and elegant this is - into my faves it goes, thanks!

I think you have 'the knack' on this market. These are the toughest cards to make, but you have made both of yours so heart-felt and warm. TFS
