Sympathy Cards

Well for whatever reason, these uploaded in the opposite sequence I wanted them too, but I am having difficulty with Blogger so we are going to go with this! LOL

Unfortunately, I have had cause to use these cards. I was thinking the other day that I needed to make some, because let's face it, I am getting older and so are the people around me and in the last few years I have many around me die. You know friends, fathers, grandmothers, just the other day a co-worker of my husbands, died of a heart attack at 42!!!! Crazy right?! Anyway on to lovelier thoughts.

This is the first card I made, I like how the second one came out better, but I do like the tone on tone stamped over the sentiment on the inside of the first one.

This next one is the inside of the second card.

I never can seem to make the same card twice, there's just something inside me that refuses! LOL, what it really is, I see the flaws and want to make something better. That is why alot of the first cards don't get sent out unless an occasion comes up and I don't have time to make something.

Snail Mail

Here is a card that I sent to my mom and dad. Granted it is a more girly card but I like it just the same. I used Papertrey Ink Vintage Picnic and colored it with Copic markers. Sure wish someone in my area would teach a class using these!!! I also used the Polka Dot basics stamped in New Leaf. I seem to be famous for making cards but not sending them. Trying to get out of that habit. LOL
