Sea Shell Sympathy

I was looking at one of my favorite web sites Heart Prints the other day and Sue had the most beautiful sympathy card I have ever seen, you can see it here. The poem on her card is from an old Embossing Arts stamp and it is so lovely. I'm not sure of the source of the poem but I had to copy it for my card.

I used one of my new JusRite By the Sea Borders and Centers for my image. Colored with Copics of course and cut out with an oval Nestabilities as is the mat. I used some blue DP I had on my desk (see using up my supplies) cut slightly smaller than my card base and mounted the image onto that.

I computer generated the poem onto vellum (let it dry) and placed over the top. If you click on the photo or go to Sue's site you can read the poem, It is lovely.

Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by.

Heart Prints

When ever I'm stuck for an idea for a card I go cruising (the web that is). More often than not I end up at Sue Nelson's site www.heartprints.net. I'll almost always find just the inspiration I need. This card is an example. Sue's card is larger but since I like to keep to the A2 size I shrank hers down and shamelessly copied her card. It is composed of three CuttleBug folders, Swiss Dots for the bottom, Divine Swirls for the middle and Bird Call for the top. The Bird Call layer obviously is torn across the bottom for some texture. I just added the sentiment at the top. It's from River City Rubber Works Every Day Occasions (unmounted).

This is a simple but elegant card that is so easy to make. Hope you like it and go see Sue's work also. Thanks for stopping by and leave a comment please.
