This is my first blog post since I unexpectedly lost my dad in October and, sadly, I had to make a sympathy card for a friend who has also lost her father.
I thought the dry embossed vellum technique would look nice with the flowers from Gina K’s One in a Million stamp set and I added a sympathy sentiment from Borderline by Verve Stamps. The layout is last week’s Mojo Monday sketch (374).
I hope to do more stamping now that my sprained wrist has healed, because I realize that I have really missed it (and I have been getting a little rusty).
Thanks for stopping by!
