CFC #91-Hi Ho Silver


Hi Friends!  I am bringing up the rear again-just glad I didn't miss the deadline for this week's challenge.  I've done that a LOT lately.

The occasion for this card is a sad one.  My cousin has recently died of cancer and I could not travel to be with the rest of my family for the funeral.  It was important to me to send something of myself.  Something that would speak of the beauty I saw in my cousin and friend.  The very simple design, just a touch of sparkle, and the silver embossed sentiment seemed to be just the right expression to me.  I felt better after making it.


Supplies:  All from Papertrey Ink unless noted
Card Stock:  White
Inks:  Ocean Tides, Hawaiian Shores, Aqua Mist
Stamp Sets:  Watercolor Wonder, Hero Arts CL342 (sentiment)
Other:  Martha Stewart Crystal Fine Glitter, Silver Embossing Powder, Corner Rounder

Thanks for stopping by,
Suzanne

  6. Hi Suzanne, I'm so sorry to hear about your cousin and the battle with cancer. You have created such a beautiful, elegant, and touching card. I would not have thought to use the paint brush stroke or silver embossing on a sympathy card, but seeing how you've used it here, it all makes perfect sense. Just love it.
