color-blocked sympathy (PDCC, CFC, SSS)

I can't believe it but I need another sympathy card.  A friend's father died.  He was only 71.  Geez.  Enough already.

This was kinda a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants attempt to squeak in under the Play Date Cafe's challenge deadline.  Haven't played there for a long time.



Luckily one of my DCWV pads had the three colors I needed.  Attached the blocks of color to the base and heat embossed with my delivered-in-today's-blizzard-by-the-dear-mailman Clearly Besotted stamps.  A button and twine and that's it.

Also hooking up to:
CASual Fridays - #93 Color Blocks
Simon Says Stamp - A Bit o' Green

Thanks for looking.



Supplies With Deepest Sympathy:
Paper: CS DCWV
Stamps: Clearly Besotted
Ink : Versamark 
Tools: heat tool
Other:  white embossing powder, button, crochet thread

I'm so sorry you need another sympathy card~those are always tough. ;(
Your card is beautiful and will be a blessing, I am sure.
As for the birdies~we have geese that have started to nest at the pond. Last
year a pair settled and stayed, through snow and all. I can't wait for it to warm up, though!
You are right, a blizzard IS unusual in Germany. We lived in Buedingen for over two years...it's a beautiful country!

Hi Maria - via wunderschön-gemacht and then to Moxie Fab World - I am surprised and amazed to stumble across a virtual neighbor just a couple miles down the Rhine! (I'm near Koblenz) AND - I'm a Michigan girl at heart too - meeting you just makes my day! Your cards are lovely - CASAF - you make me laugh too :) Let's hope the blizzard stops tonight and spring can finally start! Karen

Your card is so lovely! Though the reason is sad...I am sorry for the loss of your friend's Father. 71 is too young!

Congrats on being Moxie Fabber of the week! I enjoyed reading about you and visiting the blog posts and design friends you highlighted!
:) Jill

This is a beautiful card despite the circumstances. I love the color blocking effect with the while embossing. So glad you could join us for this week's Play Date Cafe Challenge!

My sympathies, Maria. Your card is very delicate and appropriate for the occasion. Love how your white embossing crosses the color blocking. Thanks so much for playing at CAS-ual Fridays this week!
