A late post tonight. It has been a very exhausting day. There was a lovely service today for my Father-in-Law, 4 hours to Ottawa and 4 fours back. Athough my husband and I and our in laws live in Toronto, his homestead is in Carleton Place a little town just outside of Ottawa. I want to send a sympathy card to his surviving sister, but taking it with us today didn't feel quite right. I will send it so she can appreciate it next week once things slow down again. The Dynamic Duos colours this week allowed me to create a peaceful and serene sympathy card.
All Supplies are from Papertrey Ink unless otherwise noted:
Cardstock: White, Ripe Avocado, Spring Moss
Stamps: Sending You, Turning a New Leaf
Dies: Peace Be Still
Impression Plate: Woodgrain
other: foam dot, black Sharpie
These are always such hard cards to make. This turned out beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYour card is just beautiful! I think sending it is a good idea. Long drive and tough day, get some rest.
