It is well

Hello friends!  My card today was actually made for a friend quite some time ago and was forgotten in my files.  I am glad that I just found it, though, because it prompted me to search for the hymn on YouTube and listen to it today.  Here's the simple card I made...

The flower is from Thankful Blooms (along with it's coordinating dies) and the verse and bridge are from Bridge of Hope.  Just a few select areas were colored and some Crystal Effects was applied to the water.
Listening to the hymn on YouTube and reading the story behind it (written in the video) has really touched my heart today.  Here's the video if  you would like to watch it too.

I hope you have a blessed day!

With Heartfelt Sympathy...

Hello! It's Monika here today, bringing you a sympathy card. Now that Christmas is over, I found myself reaching for my trusty butterflies. Since I tend to do a lot of Thank You cards, I decided to make something that I am not that comfortable with (and short on), sympathy cards. I found the perfect image from Bridge of Hope clear stamp set.

I didn't feel like coloring, so I opted to heat emboss my image to give it a special touch. I used Copper embossing powder. Then I just sponged yellow ink around the main image. The greeting was also heat embossed.

I used up some scraps I had laying around on my desk: a strip that was stamped with the wood grain image from Grunge Borders clear stamp set with VersaMark, and heat embossed with White embossing powder... a strip of dry embossed paper... and vellum butterflies (was die-cut with New Beginnings Butterfly die set). I just had to stamp the butterflies with the coordinating images from New Beginnings clear stamp set.

I used the brand new sketch from The Sweet Stop, SSS191. Hope you stop by and play along with us.

Thank you for stopping by,

Monika

Hi there!

Jessica here with a shabby chic sympathy card to share with you today that I created using several Sweet 'n Sassy Stamp sets.  The butterflies and dies are from New Beginnings, the bird is from Under His Wings, and the sentiment from Bridge of Hope.  They all combined beautifully to make a sympathy card for a dear friend of mine who recently lost her father.

Have a wonderful rest of your day -

Jessica
