Today I am participating in the Share it Sunday Blog Hop with the Crafty Collaborators.   One of the great things about Blog Hops is that you get one list of blogs to look at all at once.  Be sure to check out the live links listed below to see the projects shared by other contributors today.  You are sure to be inspired!

My project coordinates with a baby gift that I have knitted for a family member.  I love that I can coordinate my cards and tags with my gifts.  You can too!  Sometimes, it coordinates through theme, or even just colors.  It's up to you.  For my card today, I just had to go as far as my scrap bin to find the coordinating colors.

Quiet Meadow - sympathy card

Quiet Meadow

Quiet Meadow

Quiet Meadow

I've recently mentioned that John and I have been on a whirlwind of activities.... and then we caught covid.  Amid the chaos, people that we love have lost loved ones and because of us being sick.... we could not be with them.    So it was important for me to stop the spinning of making samples for swaps, card challenges, mailings, etc..... and just take the time to pay our respects.   It means so much to me that I can hand craft a card for people that we love.  Hand making cards hold a very special place in my heart.

  • Card base- Very Vanilla Thick: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4".  This is a side fold card.

  • Card front - Very Vanilla: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4".  Using mask, add ink to card front using blending brush.
  • Sentiment: Stamp and die cut using label die from Meadow dies.
  • Die cut 1 leaf - Pretty Peacock. Adhere to center front card front.
  • Die cut 1 flower - Fresh Freesia.  Using Dark Pretty Peacock Stampin' Blend pen, color stem and leaf.  Using Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blend pen, color flower.  Adhere to center front card front over leaf stem.
