Measure of a Life in green

Photo Details

Poster: shirolives

Unfortunately I have had a need for several sympathy cards lately. I think the image is peaceful and serene. Card is inspired by ruby-heartedmom and can be seen here:

StewArt Watercolor Dragonfly by ruby-heartedmom at Splitcoaststampers

I used the same stamp, Measure of a Life, embossed in black. I tried to emulate her daughter's beautiful watercolors with my SU markers on watercolor paper. Mounted on black, ticket corner punched and attached with brads. Base of card is done with Versamark ink with Fresh Fillers. Satin Ribbon is from a bargain bag I got at JoAnn's.

Hope I won't need to make one of these for a while now!

Thanks for looking.

You did a WONDERFUL job on this card! I have this stamp set and have a difficult time using it. You've used it properly here and have inspired me to give it another try. Sorry for all the 'loss' around you . . . here's wishing for happy moments for you! TFS
