I hope you are all well and enjoying your weekend what ever you are doing. I've been knitting, I've socks on the pins for Kerr's mum, I'm rattling away with them. It's been a while since I knitted socks and I'm finding that I'm enjoying it again. I've also got a cushion cover to finish, I'll get on with that when the socks are finished.
Not all that much card making happening just now, but I have a few commissioned so I'll have to get my thinking cap on, but here is one I made earlier in the Summer when I needed a few of them, it's the sort we don't like to make;
CC Vintage Embossing Folder, Rose
DI Spun Sugar
Papermaina Sentiment, and tiny Pink Bow
Pearls and a tiny Butterfly peel off from my Box
I like to keep these Sympathy cards really uncluttered and simple.
I've a day off tomorrow, but have a Doctor's appointment first thing, at least it gets me up and started early, and in the evening rehearsals start again for our Choral Society. We have had a long break since May, so it will be good to get back and see my choir buddies. I'm hoping to get a bit of crafting done as well.
Thank you very much for visiting and commenting on my work, it encorages me and makes this blogging thing all worth while. Till next time, cheerio.
Good evening Kate,
ReplyDeleteGreat card, love what you have done with the Rose.
Very elegant.
Our weather is terrible as well.

Hi Kate what a lovely card I agree with you not too many embellishments for Sympathy cards. Hope you have a lovely day off, hugs Susan x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sympathy card Kate, the decoupaged rose sentiment and simple embellishments are all that's needed, agree that these cards are best kept simple. Enjoy your day off weather here is pleasant between the showers, but it's certainly getting colder.

Hi Kate, the weather has been pretty bad of late :( lovely card but as you say for a sad occasion unfortunately. Thank you for your continued support and your lovely comments as always. Hope you managed to fit some crafting into your time off. Take care, Shona xx
ReplyDeleteYou are right...we don't enjoy needing to make a Sympathy card...but you have made a lovely one. The decoupaged rose is very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI am working on a sympathy card right now. A blogging friend has a parent who is very poorly. I thought I would make it now so as to have one or two ahead to be pressed into service if needed.
Your socks sound cool Knitting and I never worked out. I loved the sound of it but my fingers never grasped it properly!
