This week's focus is one that I know we don't often do, thankfully. Rather than just focusing on the 'Close as a Memory' stamp set from Stampin' Up!, I thought we could just look at the theme of 'with sympathy'. It's a hard one to do, sometimes in terms of just thinking of having to make a 'with sympathy' card as well as wondering what to do. Unfortunately I have had to make a few of them over the past 6 weeks and I hope you can be inspired by mine when you've got your own difficult moments.
My first few cards do use the 'Close as a Memory' set. Stampin' Up! have designed this set so perfectly with this in mind. It has the sentiments that we often struggle with as well as the flower images which are subtle and certainly wouldn't overpower the card or the sentiment. This is my first pick for you:
Stamps: Close as a Memory
Inks: Stampin' Up! Classic Old Olive, Yoyo Yellow & Apricot Appeal
Papers: Stampin' Up! Close to Cocoa, Whisper White (textured) & Certainly Celery
Other: Ribbon & notched-corner punch
I am happy to say that this card was sent for an old family friend who lived well into her nineties. All good years from what I hear!
