It's time again, just seems like a few days ago I was loading a challenge card.. LOL Yep, Wednesday is the "secret" day in the Wednesday Stamp Club for My Favorite Things ;)
Another fabulous sketch and I didn't think that I would be able to play until Sunday, my first day off, but unfortunately I had a Sympathy card to make for a coworker who just lost her husband after a long battle with Cancer. :( I decided well, this is a GREAT jump off point for such a hard card to make. Sympathy cards are hard for me, as it hurts my heart... I decided to venture into a land that I don't typically visit for Sympathy cards although I have seen several that have a bit of color or are loaded with color for Sympathy cards I tend to stick to only black and white... well, I used some Stormy Sky and Weathered Wood Tim Holtz Distress ink to highlight my Inspired By Lighthouses stamp set. I used one of the first Dienamics MFT released, Framed Greetings, for my sentiment flag at the top and only cut half of it, I've seen this recently in the MFT Gallery also... Kasiercraft DP was used along with a Zva bling that my friend Kate sent to me. I am REALLY going to miss my Kaisercraft pad when it's gone... I'll have to try and remember where I got it at and pick up 3 or 4 more! LOL
Take care and thanks for visiting and leaving me comments, it really makes me smile!!! :)
