With sympathy and Hello Friend

My friend is going through a tough time ... she lost her dog last week and this week her cat passed away ... : - ( So I wanted to make her a second card to show her my love.  I made a simple card with my new favourite embossing folder - Craft Concepts' hexagons.  Love this!!  Thanks again, Gayatri, for the kind gift.

I stamped the outlined peony from Pretty Peonies in Vintage Cream ink before embossing but it is really hard to see.  I used the 'with sympathy' sentiment from Peaceful Garden - I just love the font used in this set.

I used Pear Fresh ink to stamp the outline peony around the outside of the card base before popping the spring moss embossed layer up with foam dots.  A super simple card with 'may peace fill your soul this day' stamped on the inside.  Oh, and I swiped some Vintage Cream ink around the outside of the Spring Moss panel.

My next card is for a dear friend and I went a little crazy with the Glossy Accents as you can see by the milky areas.  Ah, well ... I decided to embrace the imperfection!

I used my Hero Arts Studio Calico lattice background stamp with white ink (Colorbox Frost White) and then stamped the Think Big sentiment over top with black ink (Memento Tuxedo Black).

I cut out the hearts with my Wplus9 Hearts and Clouds dies and then filled in the space with Glossy Accents after I backed the negative space with some polka paper from my stash.  I think this was from a Making Memories wedding paper pad.
