Hi Ladies. Tonight I made a Sympathy card that took only ten minutes to make. Normally I would have added more layers and embellishments to a Sympathy card but I made my card for the Pals Paper Arts weekly challenge. This week it is a KISS challenge (Keep it Simple Sweetie) card. So fast and simple it was! All products used are from Stampin'Up!
Here is my card.
Here is what I used.
Whisper White and Dusty Durango card-stock, Soft Suede ink and grosgrain ribbon. The image that I used is from one of my very favorite stamp sets called Of The Earth. My favorite stamps to use have always been the silhouette stamps. The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes. I use this set so much that it has paid for itself for sure.:)I also used the new Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder from SU and the white pearl is from the Pretties kit. I also used the corner rounder punch.
I wish I had time to chat this morning. I have a few things to do before I can go to bed. When I wake up I have errands to run but it will be a great day to be out. Snow is on it's way on Tuesday. UGH!I know.....I should not complain, after all I do live in NH. Anyway, I will enjoy the sunshine today. :) Thanks for stopping by.
I hope that you all have a wonderful week. Stay warm, stay safe and Smile.:)
Another of your simple and stunning cards I like so much! Another hit, Mary!

Hi Mary! What a wonderful card to offer sympathy and support. As long as I don't have to send one to you, I'm happy!! time is flying by! I'll be in your neck of the woods in May for two weeks. Surely this time we can get together!! Hugs to you, Anne.

what a beautiful card. I would never think to put those colors together but they really work together so well for a sympathy card.

The Swiss dotted ribbon on the embossed white background is just the right touch. Another beautiful card! Thanks for sharing!
