We at the Twisted Sisters have a challenge this week to do a Sympathy card...(I sad to say) had to do 5...the neighbours asked for four, and I did one from myself...
This is One of the cards....it went to the wife of a dear gentleman...
I fell in love with this DSP...wish I had tons of it....
I thought the octagons would go better with the fancy octagons, but they didn't....but I used them anyways....the roses were white, and I just sponged some pink on them to match.
A close up of the flowers, got them at Michaels...the small ones were in the 1.50 bin...and they didn't have enough of them....hope they get more in.
Recipe:
Stamps: Su Thanks for caring
Paper: White, DSP, WC Paper for base,
Ink: Momento Black, Pink for sponging,
Accessories: Spellbinders, Fancy Octagons, and Plain, MS leaf Punch, Spellbinders leaf Die, Flat lace, Ribbon, Foam Tape, Liquid Glue, Glue Gun, & Love
Thanks for Looking....

I like that pretty stamp, and such a beautiful use of it. That IS very pretty dp and I can see why you like it,...sof t and flourishy. the 2 kinds of octagons worked quite well anyways...especially with the gorgeous matching roses and ribbon. And yoru magic sponging is the perfect touch....Is it someone I know that passed?...Love you ma-ma ... gorgeous....TFS...HUGS

I agree with you about that DP - so pretty with all the flowers - so sorry you had to make a sympathy card and then 4 more! The framing with the nesties layered up together gives your sentiment a perfect resting place - will have to check out the dollar bin at my Michael's to see if they have some of those flowers - really gorgeous!!
