Thank you for hosting our Teaparty Anita, albeit a sad occasion. We are sending paper hugs to Dina and her mum Faith.
The card for Faith has a very special bird on a branch, it is die cut from a tomato paste tube, then coloured with Copics.
Sabrina very kindly sent me washed pieces of tomato paste tubes...nothing for quarantine to get upset about. We don't have anything like this in Australia. It die-cuts like butter!
Faith's card is made with distress inks and the card for Dina is a combination of brusho's and distress inks.
I struggle with sympathy cards, I hope these are appropriate. Thank you for looking.

Susie, the elements of both cards are stunning and will certainly be heartfelt. Your choice of colors are so comforting and the tiny touches of liquid pearls are simply dazzling.

Two beautiful sympathy cards - we all struggle with those I think - but these turned out wonderfully. I particularly like the bird cut from the tomato paste tube.

Both versions are amazing....the backgrounds are so pretty with interesting elements and lovely areas of light. You're right about that gold metal of Sabrina's...they need to market that just for stamping! Great design for sympathy cards..

This is just Gorgeous!! I love these pretty cards and really I can't see you struggled on these beauties, I understand what you mean, it's always difficult to make a ,sympathy card so I thought it would be easier to send hugs and love that's why I didn't put a sympathy sentiment.
