Sympathy

When I need a sympathy card is not when I really feeling like making one...I prefer to have a stash of them on hand.  So each month I try to make a couple...

This one is CASE'd from Kris Sobolik, and features the Bloom with Hope stamp set.  This set will be retiring on June 2, and is a Hostess set.  the colors are Blackberry Bliss and Hello Honey.

This one was strongly influenced by a card I spotted on Pinterest, but unfortunately only the picture was pinned, and not linked back to a blog, so I don't know who the artist was.  It features Perfect Plum and Mossy Meadow, and uses the Flower Shop and Bloom With Hope (leaves) stamp sets, along with the Pansy punch.  A few, scattered rhinestones and a sentiment from Wetlands finish it off.  The Whisper White card stock measures 8" x 5.25", scored at 4", and then one edge is punched with the Scallop Border punch (retiring - boo!).
