Praying Marci Sympathy Card

I've been posting a lot of retreat cards lately but here's one of my creations. Unfortunately I had to create one of these today for a dear friend / co-worker of mine. I hate creating cards like these, it's just too sad.

Copics Used:

Skin - E000, E00, E11, E13

Blush - R30, R20

Hair - YR31, YR21, YR23, YR24

Dress - W0, W1, E40

Dress Sash, Headband - E70, E71, E74, E77

The background paper I used is from Dovecraft Curiosity Corner paper pack. It's actually the paper pack I won as a prize during the recent La-La Land retreat. I have so much floral paper I didn't realize I do not own anything closely appropriate to an occasion like this. Thank goodness I have this one handy.

I used Praying Marci stamp, and sentiments stamped are from a retired Close To My Heart C1524 Words of Comfort. The butterflies and flourishes are dies from La-La Land Crafts' April 2015 club kit.

Sympathy Card

I finally finished our 2014 scrapbook so I'm hoping to be back more often now making cards. Unfortunately for the start of the year my 1st card is a sympathy card. Our cleaner's dad passed away this week and I thought I'd send her a card to let her know we are thinking of her and her family.

I used Cricut Artfully Sent cartridge to make this card, and cut everything at 4.25". I used the retired Ivy Lane papers as my inside lining, and Colonial White cardstock for the outside. I lined the flowers inside with Cocoa and cut out the heart using Hollyhock cardstock.

I used Sincere Expressions to stamp the sentiment outside with Cocoa ink, and lined a border decoration from the Ivy Lane paper.

Here's the inside of the card.

Here's the stamp set I used.

Thanks for stopping by!

Sympathy Card

I've been away for awhile, dealing with some personal issues and I'm just starting to ease back into crafting again. Unfortunately my first couple of cards back are sympathy cards. My daughter's teacher's dad passed away recently, and my co-worker's father in law also passed away recently. Both prompted me to make a card, and I hope it helps to make them feel a bit better.

I haven't crafted in awhile so here goes. The gray/black cardstock is from Recollections neutral paper pack, and the purple floral background paper is from DCWV's Floral stack I believe. The tags were cut using Silhouette and the stamp is from The Stamps of Life. It's a quick card, I actually made 2 of the same as I'm not 100% really back yet. I have yet to find all my supplies, and sort through a lot of new materials.
