With Sympathy

I took a phone call this morning to let us know that my Uncle Les passed away last night. He has been ill for some time, in residential care and leaves behind my Aunty and 3 cousins plus 4 grandchildren.
This is the card I have made for Aunty and I will do one for each cousin later today.


This card is cased from Vicky's blog a fellow SU demonstrator
Thank you for the inspiration Vicky!!
The colour combo is Melon Mambo, Old Olive and Whisper White.
The background I stippled with Old Olive and Basic Grey.
I stamped the flowers with the Reason to Smile stamp set
 ( free with a purchase of £60 until the end of August)
then coloured this in using Stampin' Write markers.
I reverse stamped the flower facing right and cut another flower head to decoupage on top.
I daubed the edge of the stamped layer with Basic Grey ink.
Stamped the sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes in Basic Grey
and added a bow with the Lucky Limeade, Everyday Enchantment Organdy ribbon
(this was free with a purchase of £45 during July)

  1. Sorry to hear of your uncle passing away! It's not an easy card to make, you have done a gorgeous job! Understated and classy, but with the brighter flowers just takes it a light at the end of the tunnel feeling, if you know what I mean? Lol xxx
