Love & Treasure the Memory
Recently a dear friend of mine lost her best friend/husband of over 30 years. So I have been trying to figure out an appropriate card for her. Here is what I came up with.
I am also submitting this card for two different Challenges. First is Color My Heart's color dare #80 in which we are to use Ruby, Sunset and Cotton Candy as our colors. I have used these colors not only by making the background paper for the two panels but also as mats.
The second Challenge is for Nacho Average Challenge sketch #75 (see image below).
I layered the panels that I created onto a textured card base and then layered the sentiment panel on top of that, all with 3D foam tape. The sentiment was purchased at Hobby Lobby and is an American Art Stamp by Lizzie Anne Designs. I think it is perfect for this purpose. I created the background paper using the Thinking Of You stamp set that came in Simon Says Stamps' February stamp kit. All ink and cardstock is from Close To My Heart. The Framelit is from Stampin' Up.
I feel like a card is never complete unless I also tie the inside to the front, so here it is!
I thank you for visiting my blog. I do this simply to share my love of paper crafting.
I look forward to reading your comments and thank you in advance for taking time out of your busy day to leave one.
Thank you and Happy Paper Crafting!

What a beautiful card! The sentiment hits close to home. Great layers and colors. Thanks for playing along with the Nachos, hope you will join us again.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kathya. It was fun and I hope to do it again! Glad I found you all!
DeleteI think it's hard to 'hit the right note' with sympathy cards, but this is really beautiful! Such a comforting sentiment and the flowers are so lovely. Thanks for sharing. Prayers for your friend.
ReplyDeleteYou are so very sweet Katrina! Thank you. Funny thing is, I had seen this sentiment on FB and then when I was at Hobby Lobby this past week, there it was! Thank you for your prayers.

DeleteVery pretty card. I especially like the notched corners on the panels-a great touch. I often forget these little details that can make all the difference. Thanks for sharing your card-
ReplyDeleteThank you for noticing that Rose. I too often forget until I have already assembled the card/project. Have a wonderful week and thank you for the comment!
DeleteBeautiful card. I know your friend will appreciate the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Anne.
DeleteAbsolutely lovely card! I love the double raised panels with the punched corners. Those shapes combined with the center shape make the card look more complex than it really is. Thanks for joining the Color Dare this week.
ReplyDeleteThank you Gretchen. You are right, this was really a simple card to put together. I enjoyed the Color Dare.
DeleteI love the ticket shaped twin panels and all the layers in this card. Mostly, though, in love how you created your own patterned paper with stamps. I am sure your friend will find comfort in this card. Thank you for playing the Color Dare this week.
ReplyDeleteYour background panels are perfectly stamped. This is a very cheery sympathy card that anyone would be glad to receive! Thanks for playing along at Color My Heart last week, and we'd love to see you again this week.
