we went to the funeral yesterday.
I started with a 8 x 8 white base card
i embossed it with Sue Wilson DAISY TIERS EMBOSSING FOLDER BY CREATIVE EXPRESSIONS
I cut a decorative edge in white pearl card with SUE WILSON SET B & embossed it with same folder then used the MEMORY BOX CHURCH WINDOW & backed it with soft silver card
i then cut the FLORAL MEADOW STRIPLET FROM SUE'S NEW DIE RELEASE also backed with the soft silver card i cut two of the CAMELLIA COMPLETE PETAL FROM WHITE CARD
& TWO OPEN PETAL FROM THE SOFT SILVER CARD. i glued them together & put them to the side of the window. Then i cut a few of the smaller flower's in both complete & open petal's & glued them to the striplet die flower's
I Stamped my sentiment onto velum putting it across the window adding a small open flower to the end & finishing by putting flat back pearls in the flowers.
I then printed a verse & cut it out with decorative edge set b,cut a second one from the soft silver card cut that down the middle to mirror image it.
Not my favorite card to make.

Thank you so much Margaret,all though he was in his 80's it's still sad especially for his sister( my friend ) neither of them married & they were very close so she is going to find it very hard
ReplyDeleteWithout him. It was a very nice service a Humanists service it seemed more personal.
Hope your all ok in Cumbria hugs to Ben & love & Hugs to you Lynda xx
Lynda, a beautiful card for a sad occasion. Your friend will find it hard, but with good friends like yourself she will get through the dark days. Letting her talk about him and remember the good times is a great healer. Hazel xx

Hi Lynda,
ReplyDeleteA truly lovely card for a sad occasion. I'm sure your friend really appreciated it. Love how you used the new striplet and flowers and also the window. Simply elegant!
It's always hard to lose a family member but at this time of year it seems worse somehow.
Sending Christmas cards is an expensive business as you said. I am a little behind so need to write them this weekend! Well - before the grandchildren come on Sunday as we'll be making theirs . It won't involve any mess at all, ha ha!.
Take care, lots of love,
Myra
Hi Lynda,
ReplyDeleteThese are the hardest cards to make but you have made a stunner! So gorgeous, yet so right for the occasion. Great idea to use that church window die, it gives just the right feel to the card. Hoe do you choose your sentiments? Or do you have a cd ?
I love that new striplet die you have used, I bought the other one, I bet you got both didn't you? Usually Pat, Sue and I will buy one each and we share but the ivy die and the otter striplet die we all decided we couldn't live without so we all ordered the same ones! Pat ordered a few more, one being the New York, which is lovely, I so wish I could buy them all, I will have some on my letter to Santa! Well I am off back to craft room as I don't have a card made for my blog, I think Christmas will be here too soon for me!
Crafty hugs,

Hello my lovely friend, thank you for you lovely comments.I have a Do Craft Digital designer which has sentiments for all occasions & I can alter them if I wish which is handy. The disc came free with the Do crafts mag cards & paper rafts When loaded it then it stays on the computer. You can add any Docraft disc & it saves it within the program. Have you got a computer or laptop.If you would like a copy of it I could send it to you.Take care my friend Love & Hugs Lynda xx
ReplyDeleteHa ha Sandra forgot to say yes I have both Striplets I couldn't just have one otherwise it would have been lonely by itself 😉 Love & Hugs Lynda xxxxx
