I just had to try another card I wanted to case from Bar's gallery as featured stamper this week. I thought this card of Bar's would be a perfect sympathy card in black and white, rather than the blue and white:
I used the same layout, but changed the color combo, the image and the b/g stamp. If you can even believe it, I actually omitted pearls - I can't believe I even said that one. I tried to keep it a basic and simple sympathy card. I even avoided using patterned paper or embossing folders - now, that's truly hard to believe.
I used a b/g stamp and embossed in white and the image stamp I embossed in black. I finally figured out how to use the bow easy I've had for some time and was SO CONFUSED. It's still a little tricky for me, but I used it for this bow.
Thanks SO MUCH for taking the time to look and congrats again Bar for being selected this week's featured stamper!

Beautiful card Pam! I'm LOVING your new CAS style - are you following the 12-step programme to living without pearls and embossing?!! (B loves this too - I've told him to join SCS himself then he can post his own comments. He looked scared..)

Oh my fruitcake, this is certainly one beautiful sympathy card. So perfect in black and white and so in keeping with a traditional card. Great work on this one. I have nothing bad to say about this one. Just fabulous.
