Memory

My hubby's coworker Mom passed away and my hubby asked if I could make him a card. I was coming up blank on what to do so I went through the challenges that are out there in blogland and came up with using Sisterhood of Crafters Tree challenge.  I used some of the Core'dinations cardstock, that has the lighter version of the top cardstock in the center so when you sand the top layer away you are left with the a lighter color, I went with the color green.


When looking for a sentiment I came across some of my epoxy sticker sentiments and thought this is so true for our loved ones that pass on, our life here is temporary but the memories we have of those we have lost will always be with us.

Since these stickers are clear epoxy I was afraid that the black lettering wouldn't show up well on the green cardstock so I first applied it to some white card stock and cut around it and then applied that to the card.

Darice - Leafy Tree Trunk embossing folder, sanded
Cloud 9 design - Simple thoughts clear epoxy sticker


Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today and say Hi,

Connie

This is so nice! I like the simplicity of this card. I have not used this card stock in a long time. I must get it out and play!

It's a perfect card and sentiment for sympathy. I love the tree EF, and I'm definitely a fan of Core'dinations card stock. I'm afraid I tend to hoard mine. I must stop that. I know your very calming card was appreciated, Connie.

This card evokes such a beautiful feeling for one who has lost a loved one. The tree is amazing.
