I had this card made but felt it was unfinished. It had just the stamping on it. So I decided to give it a wintery touch and now I'm happy with it. It's off on its way...
I used gray cardstock and Altenew Winter Cardinal with various red inks. The sentiment is Papertrey Botanical Silhouettes. I used Simon Says Stamp Snow stencil and embossing paste (tried to avoid the sentiment area) and then added a sheer black ribbon up top.
Thanks for visiting today. I am hooking up at Seven Hills Crafts because I've got "Let it Snow" going through my head now that we've got minus temps here in Germany. And at Creative with Stamps who want to see a bird! And at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge where it's Anything Goes.
Gorgeous card. I just got the embossing paste and that snow template - I hope I can make something as pretty as your card!
ReplyDeleteWhile it sucks to loose a loved one on any day I agree that it's especially horrible on a major holiday. Your card is wonderful and serene! The snow stencil was a great idea!
ReplyDeleteWow-this is stunning. I love the cardinal and the snow. It's a beautiful card. I'm sorry to hear why you had to make this card. Thank you so much for joining us at Creative with Stamps! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, that is sad ,Maria! Sorry for your friend! Wow on this absolutely gorgeous Sympathy card! It's stunning! Love the snow over that gorgeous red bird!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your friend :( What a sad and difficult time for them. Your card is really lovely and I'm sure it will bring them some comfort to know you're thinking about them. It's a lovely design, and the snow fall was a great choice for the background as it ties all the elements together so well. Thanks for playing along with us at Seven Hills Crafts :)
