Sympathy

 A card making friend in my stamp group lost her father just before Christmas.  I lost my own Father on Christmas day night, so I understand how hard it is to lose a parent at this time of year.


I cut everything out with watercolor paper and used my distress inks and spectrum aqua pens to watercolor them.

  • Tim Holtz, Sizzix - Wildflower stems #1, colored with distress ink and spectrum aqua markers
  • Paper Studio - Antiquity paper
  • Taylored Expressions -  Care & Comfort sentiment stamp
  • jute


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

Connie

Your card is lovely, Connie. Your friend will treasure it. I'm sorry for your loss. Even though it was not recent, I am sure it still feels that way and you must miss him terribly. {{HUGS}}
