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

Good Morning Sue and everyone. This is such a lovely serene card, ideal for those sad times. The colours are beautiful and the bow is exquisite. Yet again a lovely card and one to thrill me on this very dull morning here in Spain.
Lovely card. Beautiful embossing folder. The sentiment is so throughtful. Love, Julia xxx
What a great card to send someone at a sad time x
Morning Sue. It was lovely to meet you at Ally Pally. I'm sure you were exhausted by the end of yesterday. I helped my 19 year old daughter make her first card on Thursday and she chose to base her card on this one for a 21st card for a friend. It came out beautifully but it only took us 8 hours as she had to re-do some things that turned out wrong and I spent ages looking for materials for her. I definitely need to re-organise my stuff! At a commercial rate, it would cost about £100 given the 'man'power time, lol!
Hi Sue,
fabbbbbbbb card as always. I love the colours. The tattered rose ink is fabbbbbb too. I use it a lot as it comes out a peachy colour when used. It also dies the ribbon peachy too.
Have a great crafty day everyone.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Stunning Card ,I had to make two yesterday wished I had seen this but don`t have the dies or sentiments where is the sentiment from ???

Hi Sue, This is a very, very nice sympathy card in very nice colours too, like how you embossed the cross and stamped the sentiment next to it, another lovely card. Yvonne xx
hi Sue,
I've had to make some sympathy cards this last week and am very pleased with the crosses set of dies but haven't tried embossing them in the way you are showing us today so I will give this a try. The colours you have used in this card are subtle and just right for the sentiment.
love from Jackie D
Very beautiful sympathy card. Lovely colours. Have a good day XXX
This is a really beautiful card for such a sad occasion, and can easily be changed for a better one too. I love the color and the way you put it all together. Really awesome job done here Sue.
Such a beautiful symphathy card, so appropriate for the times we live in, when we celebrate a loved ones life rather than mourn their death. This card would make a very fitting tribute, congratulations on your talent for capturing the mood of the moment. Best wishes Lesley x

Hi Dawn Louise, Sue's ribbon rose was posted on Tuesday 24th January 2012. If you type 'My Ribbon Rose Tutorial' into the search bar it should come up.
Another stunner!!! Love how you embossed the cross in the background! Funny, I was just thinking this very morning of different ways to use that die set and you have just totally inspired me! Thank you!!
Morning Sue

Hi Sue
it was so lovely to meet you on Saturday, although I almost got squashed trying, I hope you don't suffer from claustrophobia as I think your table must have been the busiest one at the show.
Your card is beautiful, & as you say these are not the easiest cards to make, BUT I'm sure that the recipient of this one will/would know that there was a lot of thought behind this lovely card, & would help them at such a difficult time in their life, after losing a loved one.
hugs
Sandra (craftynan)
Hello Sue, glad you had a good weekend. I really love this card and agree they are not the easiest to make. The sentiment is really nice and says all that needs to be said at a difficult time. The colours are lovely.

Morning Sue,
I agree these are hard cards to make because of the emotion, but this is truly beautiful. Hope you can have a bit of a rest now Ally Pally is over.

A beautiful card Sue, and with a change of sentiment it could easily be a wedding or christening card.
It is beautiful Sue. I ordered the 6 decorative inserts last night and am looking forward to trying them.
I enjoyed watching your demos at Ally Pally on Saturday and love the cards you make. Taken me in a totally different direction. So right about sympathy cards not so hard to make but the words are always difficult. Thank you so much.

Take care.
Love Gay x
tis beautiful x
Hi Sue. This is really lovely By changing the colours, this would be realy appropriate as a male card also. These are such difficult cards to get right but you have caught it the mood beautifully.
Beautiful card Sue. I love the way you emboss with the dies without cutting as the effect is so subtle.
Still enjoying the fact that I can actually access your blog again at last.
Hugs, Buttons x
If its OK to say that a sympathy card is beautiful then this one is just that. Love the labels 24 die - guess thats next on my list. Thanks for all the inspiration. Love Hilary :)
glad you had a super time at 'Alley
Palley'. Hope to catch up with some friends who went!
Todays card is really apt, subtle yet elegant enough to make the receiver feel cherished.
This is a beautiful card, Sue, I love the embossing, and great colours, lovely!
I have a hard time with sympathy cards. This would mean so much to someone who received it. I love the salmon color and the embellishments.
Hi Sue glad you enjoyed Ally Pally This card is so subtle but speak volumes at such a hard time lovely Hugs Corinne x
Look at me at the bottom of the list I'm usually in the top twenty!! Lovely card for a sad occasion but we all send them and unfortunately...receive them, hopefully not too often. Mabex

Good evening Sue, what a lovely card for a sad occasion which is always a difficult card to make.
It was lovely to meet you at Ally Pally in the flesh instead of on create and craft. I do enjoy watching you using spellbinders and it was nice to actually see the micro beads properly, thankyou again
Hi Sue, Haven't been on for a while but had to leave a comment on this one.WOW,WOW,WOW it's stunning and elegant. Love the colours and everything about it. I don't know how you keep coming up with the inspiration. Thanks Teresa xxx
Hey Sue
Sympathy cards are the hardest to do i think but you have done a great job here, this is gorgeous

Oh, so beautiful. Such pretty, gentle colours.

Hi Sue
What a soft pretty delicate card. Thank you for reminding me that you can just emboss with the dies that you don't always have to cut with them.
Ria
I agree with you, not the easiest to make, but this is a good one, I like it
hi sue yet another stunning card i think anyone that received a card like this would appreciate it. the colour is subtle and the words are beautiful.
hugs lisa x
I agree with you, not an easy subject, but I like this one.
Hi Sue,
Although this card has to be sent for a day we would all wish to avoid, you have created something totally respectful but really dreamy. I love it and I started to sing, but I don't know if I want to tell you as it may make me seem older than I am or something ;)
'May each day in the week be a good day
May the Lord always watch over you
And may all of your hopes turn to wishes
And may all of your wishes come true'
Do you remember this? My mum adored the singer of this slightly melancholy song. When I was just a young girl, we often listened to his songs on the 8Track player as we travel around touring the great British Isles, France and Italy.
Ok, I know I have waffled on long enough and delayed the answer, so I'll tell you, but I think you've probably guessed -it's Mr Andy Williams. Didn't he have just a dreamy voice, I often fell asleep listening to him....LOL!! Joke aside, I did actually like him even though I was only about 10years old.
I hope you have started the week well. Regards Linda
