Sympathy card in soft colors...

 

I almost always use soft colors when I make sympathy cards, and this one is no exception. The DSP was a piece I had in my stash. The soft green pattern made a nice background.

I die-cut my flower layers and then used the softest shade of pink ink that I had and applied it lightly to the centers. I chose to die-cut some skeleton leaves in soft green to continue the look, letting them cascade down from the bottom of the oval.

I used a brad in the center to hold the flower together. It's been ages since I've used a brad, and I have quite a few of them in my stash!

My sentiment was printed on the computer and then die-cut with a stitched oval die and popped up with foam squares.

The sentiment on the inside was stamped, and I've embellished it with one of my skeleton leaves.

Our sweet dog, Mickey, is nearly done with a second round of training. He has learned a lot and is becoming a very well-behaved pup. We are going to take him to one more type of training where he will learn to heel and walk beside us without a leash. I hope that goes well. We'd love to be able to walk him off-leash from time to time.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
