My friend Ramona had to unexpectedly fly home last week when her father died. I can’t imagine how awful the flight to Romania was when going for such a reason. I’ve made a card for her; I know that it’s completely inconsequential when thinking about her loss, but it’s a token.
Base: 5.5″ by 8.25″ always artichoke
Top layer: 5.25″ bu 4″ sahara sand
Stamp sets: Too kind, teeny tiny wishes
Ink: Always artichoke, wisteria wonder, elegant eggplant
I habitually use either whisper white or very vanilla for my top layers but here I’m using sahara sand and I really like how it looks – I’ll have to order a complete pack of it. To start with, I got a mixed pack of each colour family to get a feel for my favourites – sahara sand is going on the list!
I first stamped the stems from the Too Kind set in always artichoke and then used wisteria wonder to stamp the complete flower images at the top of the stems. Taking the elegant eggplant ink, I did the second part of the 2 step stamping with the incomplete flower image on top of the wisteria wonder to give the contrast. The only sympathy sentiment I have is from the teeny tiny wishes set but I think it works well here (in always artichoke). I finished off the card by lining the envelope with the backgrounds DSP in always artichoke from the regals collection.
It’s a lovely card, Liz. I wouldn’t say that it’s inconsequential either. I think that it’s the support of others that helps you get through it, and you’re showing your support. Of course, every person’s experience is different, but that’s what I found.
