Happy Monday morning! I had a crazy weekend at Ally Pally and really enjoyed meeting so many of you that check in on my blog each day. Thank you so much for all your support, it has really been a lifeline for me! For today's card, I have chosen one that isn't always the easiest card to make, a sympathy card. I started with a salmon coloured card that I embossed with an embossibility folder. I inked the edges with Tattered rose distress ink to bring out the pattern a bit. I used a piece of cream lace from my stash as an accent. I stamped my sentiment in black then lined up my Labels 24 die so the phrase was off centre. I cut it out, then added the large cross die to it so it slightly overlapped the sentiment and embossed the design into the background. I used a bit more tattered rose to bring out the detail in it. You can see the close up below. I cut a faux nestie mat out of milk coloured card. I made a ribbon rose using my reline tape technique and added it atop one of the beautiful Heartfelt Creations swirls and a shabby chic bow tied from vintage ribbon I scrunched. I added a couple of crystal stick pins as an accent and pierced around the edge to finish the card off nicely. Sympathy cards are probably among the most difficult to make because of the emotional aspect to them, but I was happy with the way this one turned out. All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue, I just had to comment on this as the co-incidence is just incredible. I have not looked your blog for over a week as, sadly, my father passed away on the morning of the 16th. I ahve just returned to catch up today and I find that the card you posted on the 16th is a sympathy card and what a beatutiful one too. Happy memories are what have been sustaining me and my family over this difficult period and so your card is really appropriate. Thanks Dorothy
