Sympathy cards - part two

Greetings all - I'm back with part two of sharing some recent sympathy cards. I received a ton of cards from family and friends when my mom passed, including from my blogging friends & from former coworkers when I worked in Eau Claire WI over 30 years ago! So wonderful to have friends like that! One of them mentioned losing her mom recently & I hadn't heard the news before. Quickly made the following card for her family.

Supplies: Paper - Park Lane A2 card; Neenah white

Other - Copic Markers; Antique Linen Distress Ink; white gel pen

Dies - A Jillian Vance Design Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set

Stamps - Joy Clair Thankful for You & Heartfelt Sympathy

I stamped a floral spray from Joy Clair's Heartfelt Sympathy set & colored with Copics. You can see a card using the other spray from this set here. The bible verse also came from a Joy Clair set - I used it on one of yesterday's cards - such a great verse. I stamped on white but it looked wrong so I sponged Antique Linen Distress ink around the edges - much better. The butterfly was a punched one that's been in my bits box forever - Heather (stamping and stitching) sent me a bunch eons ago. Thanks again, Heather! I gave it a body, though, trimming one from a Spellbinders set.

Next I'm sharing a card I sent to my brother and sister-in-law back in February. I hadn't posted it earlier and was reminded because this month I would've had kitty niece Misty to stay with me. Sadly she passed away after a short illness but she'd had a good long life! If you check my blog for Misty labels, you'll see several posts with photo. I'm lucky to have some saved videos on my phone; she's playing with different toys I kept at my house for her. RIP sweet Misty!

Supplies: Paper - Spellbinders (rainbow print from some kit);

Paper Studio A2 card; Neenah white & Poptone Black Licorice

Dies - Waffle Flower Rainbow Bridge Cat;

A Jillian Vance Design Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set

Stamps - Hero Arts I Love My Cat (retired)

Divinity Designs Mini Tag Sentiments

I die cut the rainbow bridge from black and backed with white. I colored in the rainbow with pencils as an afterthought and blended with an alcohol pen. Next time I'd do an inlay... Stamped the sentiment and the Meow in blue ink and glued the panel to a patterned paper rainbow background.

Hopefully no more sympathy cards to make for a long while! Thanks for stopping & enjoy your day!
