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!

Omitted pearls? Are you ok? Should I call the paramedics? OMG Pam, no pearls needed! This is GOREGOUS as is! Your work is always striking, and I love-love-love this beautiful inside on this one too! Rockin' it- even w/o pearls!
