This week's Feature Stampser is Laura O'Donnell. Laura has a wonderful gallery with so many fun and happy cards! It was a pleasure to see all the various styles!
Unfortunately, I needed to make a sympathy card. A young man at my husband's work, lost both of his parents in a motorcycle accident a little over a week ago. He will be coming back to work on Monday. I just can't imagine. If you would like to say a prayer for him, his first name is Jeremy.
I thought this card of Laura's would make a lovely inspiration. Celebrate Your Blessings by Laura ODonnell at Splitcoaststampers
I turned Laura's card on it's side and used a different image. I really liked her ribbon, button and twine and just used different colors. The stamp is from SweetnSassy stamps and colored with Copic markers. I had seen this image used a few times and always LOVED the way all of those cards looked. (Bridget, yours was vividly beautiful!)
Laura, I am so grateful that your card help guide me in making this sympathy card. Thank you so much! I am going to try to comeback tomorrow and make a FUN card. Because your gallery is filled with happiness, light and love! I woud like to reflect that aspect too!
Thank you for hosting Julie and always giving us wonderful examples! Thank you for stopping by to take a peek.

I missed seeing this gorgeous card,too...Kathleen, the colors on this are so striking..love the yellow and orange bg with that stunning yellow finch. The teal colored ribbon and large button are wonderful accents. What a terrible tragedy for Jeremy..very sad..
