Random Acts of Kindness - Sympathy

Hello everyone - I'm here with a card for the current Day of the Month Card Club challenge where they're celebrating Random Acts of Kindness Day. Most events in life are scheduled - holidays, birthdays, etc. but a death is often random. Our friend Betty, mother to Becky & grandma to Bariana (two chorus friends), passed away on Monday. I made this card to send sympathy to the family:

Supplies: Paper - Park Lane A2 card;

BoBunny Botanical Journal; Momenta Watercolor print;

scraps of greens; Hero Arts Camel Watercolor Paper

Dies - Altenew Layered Ornate Frame;

A Jillian Vance Design Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set

BetterPress Plate with Dies - Spellbinders You are Everything Sentiments

Other - Park Lane gold stud stickers

I wanted to do something floral and the beautiful Altenew frame came to mind. Die-cutting and assembling the flowers & leaves, then adding them to the frame can be very soothing. I also like to multi-task while I'm watching television. Tuesday I was watching the replay of The Bachelor which I do in memory of my mom who loved, loved, loved that show (and The Bachelorette too!). I made two sets of everything so I can make a second card of the same design for another friend's family - funeral is Saturday.

I had a large pile of letterpressed sentiments made a couple weeks ago, along with some extra outlines in various colors for shadowing. I ended up cutting a brown shimmery shadow from a Poppystamps envelope just for this card, though; I thought it pulled out the script in the background paper nicely. If you're considering a BetterPress or already have one, I think this sentiment set is a must-have - love it!

That's it for today, friends - hope you're having a lovely week!
