ODBD Ornamental Crosses Sympathy Card

I find it difficult to make sympathy cards as, typically, there are a lot of emotions involved. However, I created this ODBD Ornamental Crosses Sympathy Card for a dear friend who lost a very special person in her life.  My heart breaks for her, but I know our Lord will carry her through this very difficult time!

ODBD Ornamental Crosses Sympathy Card

I used the Our Daily Bread Designs (ODBD) dies and sentiment stamp to create the card. The card base is a piece of White Linen Card Stock to which I adhered  two die cuts from the ODBD Layered Lacey Ovals.

I die cut three crosses with the ODBD Ornamental Crosses dies and glued them together. I adhered the crosses to the purple die cut, and stamped the sentiment at the bottom.  The sentiment is from ODBD Faith Card Sentiments.

Have a wonderful and blessed day!

Every Saturday on Splitcoaststampers there is an Inspiration Challenge.  Today I created this card in response to the challenge.  The Inspiration Challenge, IC533, is to view this website page to be inspired and create a card based on your inspiration. I saw many beautiful pieces that inspired me; however, I decided to go with this one:

Gypsy DamaskThis piece brought to mind the Faux Patina Technique and that is why I used the technique to make my card.


UPDATE (from Splitcoaststampers):  Congratulations! In the General Stamping forum, you’re in the FAVORITES for the week ending February 21.


You will note that my sentiment, “Know what I love?” is stamped and embossed onto a piece of ribbon.  The sentiment is from a stamp in the Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set, What I Love. I hope the answer to the sentiment question is obvious.

Enjoy and come back for more beautiful creations!
