My card is for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge and you all know I love their sketches. I've made a sympathy card for this sketch so I have kept it rather simplistic- by MM standards. So it is kind of in between the 2 sketches they provided.
The photos aren't the best because it was such a dark, dreary day here-goes well with the sentiment, though. I actually made 3 of these cards yesterday. I made them for 3 of my cousins whose mother passed away last week. My aunt was 80 so she had a very good run but she will be greatly missed. I hadn't seen her in 10yrs, the last time at my wedding actually, but she was always my favorite. I spent a summer with her when I was in college. I grew up in a small town and jobs were scarce so she found me and a girlfriend a summer job in her company- the department of tourism for the state of Oklahoma. I will always cherish the memories of that summer- we had a blast!
Ok back to the card- the sentiment is computer generated, the beautiful cross is a digital image from Sugar Creek Hollow and if you haven't visited them you need to. They have some beautiful images! Tracy's has done an outstanding job with her site and it is just beautiful. I printed the image on cream colored card stock and then embossed the cross with black embossing powder. (very hard to tell in these pictures). My dp is from the Basic Grey Origins collection- this is my new favorite for basic grey! I've embellished with ivory colored lace, black ribbon and the white pearls.
Ok that is it for today. I will be back tomorrow with some really cool Star Wars birthday invitations. haha
