A very sad week in my school division. An Educational Assistant was murdered by her husband. So sad, so sensless!! She was a wonderful woman - kind and caring.
So, a sympathy card tonight ... an appropriate thought.
This lovely image comes from one of smARTworks newest releases called Purpose Small. A lovely image with some nice sympathy sentiments and a few birthday sentiments as well, making it a very versatile set!
For this card, I stamped the image using a spectrum ink pad. Then, I mixed some acrylic paint to match the colors in the image and plattered some ink onto the main image panel. I cut the main panel with a rectangle nestability and then did some piercing. Finished the card off with some light green ribbon and added a sympathy sentiment on the inside. It reads "Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal ~ Thomas Moore".
Supplies: Stamps-Purpose Small (smARTworks), Cardstock-Olive Green (Bazzil), Very Vanilla (Stampin' Up!), Ink-Mountain Lake Spectrum (Adirondack), Basic Black - inside sentiment (Stampin' Up!), Other-paper piercer, piercing template (Stampin' Up!), pale green ribbon (Michaels), large rectangle nestabilities die (Spellbinders), Cuttlebug (Provocraft), blue, green, and yellow mixed watercolor paint (for splatter), toothbrush (old one from my medicine cabinet).
Thanks for dropping in.

Very classy card! The colors are gorgeous. I may have to get that stamp set - I really like it.
Lovely card with your usual attention to details that finish it perfectly! I wish you didn't have to make it, though. So sad and senseless.
What a terrible event! So sorry to hear of your (and the school's) loss. Beautiful sympathy card, Donelda -- very elegant and the sentiment is perfect.
