It's a brand new challenge at the 4 Crafty Chicks! This week's hostess-with-the-mostess is yours truly and this week I am challenging you to make a sympathy card. I always find that this type of card is one of the hardest to make and I don't make them very often but they are always nice to have on-hand for those unexpected moments.
I immediately knew I wanted to use Basic Black, Very Vanilla and Basic Grey and the SU! set, Thoughts and Prayers, for my card so I went in search of a sketch and found this lovely one at Unscripted Sketches:
Recipe - Stamps: Thoughts and Prayers (SU!) Ink: Basic Grey, Versafine Onyx Black Paper: Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Basic Grey, SU! DSP Accessories: paper piercer, black satin ribbon, dimensionals, Beautiful Wings embosslit, adhesive pearl, Victoria embossing folder
Take a few minutes to stop and see what the other Crafty Chicks created - they all did a fabulous job with this challenge. I hope you will play along with us this week ~ I know it's not a really *fun* theme but it's one we will all need a card for sooner or later. Enjoy your weekend - we are off to visit my mom and dad this afternoon but will be back on Sunday with a new Sentimental Sundays challenge. See you then!
