Garden sympathy


On one hand, sympathy cards are my least favorite to make, but on the other hand, I enjoy making them for the fact that I know they can be a blessing and encouragement.   I needed to make one this past weekend, and ended up making a few to have on hand.   I pray this is an encouragement to the recipients.


My image is Asian Garden COLOR Plus from Doodle Pantry.   My DP is Prima "Madeline," the border is a MS punch, and the sentiment is a Stampabilities rubber stamp.   I used Spellbinders 15 and cut it using a technique called "layering nested frames" that I found at this blog post.  It's looks really neat IRL!!

This is really a beautiful card, Debbie. It looks like a scene where you just want to sit and read your Bible, and enjoy the scenery. It's just stunning and someone will be blessed to receive it. Thanks so much for sharing with us.
