ODBD Fear Not - Sympathy Card

Today I am sharing a card that is very personal to me - recently the world lost a wonderful man, gone too soon and leaving a beautiful wife and family behind, This man and his family hold a very special place in our lives on so many levels.  This card is for his wife and family.

I have used one of the Our Daily Bread Designs Scripture Collection sentiments and has been stamped using Imagine Crafts 'featuring' Tsukineko: Memento in Tuxedo Black. The message is one I have on my hearts for them - it is not the usual Sympathy sentiment but it is Scripture and so comforting - my prayer is that it will encourage them and they will feel the love we are sending to them.

The Crown and Wreath have been created using the Royal Medallions Spellbinders® “A Gilded Life” studio by Debbie Murray and Shea Fragoso.  The dies have been cut using the Spellbinders® Grand Calibur® Die Cutting and Embossing Machine and Silver from the Foil Pack One .  

 Scrapbook by Adhesives by 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner and Crafty Foam Tape have been used on this card.  Some of the fabulous Want2Scrap Bling

ODBD Seasons

 

Good morning - it is Saturday morning here for me and I am hoping to have a highly productive day, but before I 'get my craft on' I am wanting to share a quick card with you.

 

 

 

I needed some 'Religious' cards for the shop - that categories always makes me smile - religious really just applies to something we go 'religiously' like, cleaning our teeth - just sayin'!  I do love to create 'faith based' cards and am happy they sell well at this store too. 

 

 

 

 

I naturally reached for my Our Daily Bread Designs Scripture Collection 1 and my Spellbinders Paper Arts Dies - I have used the Parisian Motifs Shapeabilities® to cut out this sentiment, using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur.  I used the Die as a mask, sponging around the center before removing the card from it - I love this technique, it gives the illusion of another layer without adding the 'bulk'.  Makes it so much easier and less expensive for posting to someone - something I try to consider...but as someone who loves layering.....I am not always successful with this! LOL!

 

 

 

 

and added a few embellishments I had sitting on my desk - an adorable butterfly that was part of a RAK, lace and a gorgeous little flower from the Craft Queen.

 

 

 

Coming together very quickly, which is just as well as this month our local corner store where I sell my cards, sold 60 cards - no time for procrastinating here! LOL!
