Sentimental Sundays #71 - Sympathy or Thinking of You

Hello Sentimental Fools - another Sunday. Gosh, these weekends fly over, don't they? Did you all enjoy the Back to School challenge last week? Are all your little ones back now? I bet you're glad. More crafting time! Yippeee!

This week over at Sentimental Sundays we want to see a more tricky type of card. The type of card that I know a lot of card makers don't like making.. simply because you never know what to say..

SYMPATHY/ THINKING OF YOU

Hopefully the girls will be able to inspire you to make something fit for the occasion.

Here is my take on the challenge..

I have used a combo of Hero Arts and Paper Makeup stamps to create the sentiment. Some gorgeous papers from Bo Bunny Gabrielle collection and some silky crush ribbon from The Ribbon Girl for my base design. I've used a two PTI dies and some paper from the same collection to create my flower and some pearl brads from Papermania.

Here is a shot of the inside of the card. I really, really love that sentiment. Sums it up perfectly. Customary doodles and distressing with another strip of patterned paper to finish it off! :)
