Sympathy cards - day 1 of 3.

- Second post for today - scroll down for JBE tag. -

I had to come back with something non-Christmas. Blech - Christmas. So. Over. It. So I'm movin' on to sympathy cards. Yeah. I totally hate making these cards...it's such a delicate occasion, and with my style, I'm afraid of making it too happy. So I had to temper myself...every time I felt the need to add something fun or bright I had to keep saying "simma down, girl" - LOL

Anywho - so these cards today are mostly Papertrey Ink cards with some Prima embellies, Martha bling, and some A Million Memories lace trim. I love this sentiment too - the size and the fonts. That's from Communique Curves Sentiments - a super value at only $5 for the set.

I made these cards for a little bartering I did with Heather's mom. But you know, top of the year might be a good time to get a couple of sympathy cards done and in your stash so that you have them ready if and when you need them next year.

I'm back to work today; blech - work.

My mom will love them. Very tasteful, but not too happy. :D
Didn't think about the creative difficulty you might have w/these, but they're great.

These are beautiful, Michelle! Sympathy cards really are hard to make, but these are perfect. I especially love the second one with the green and brown~fab color combo and those butterflies are so cool.
