I love the elegant shape of a DL card and I really dont make them often enough.....

Sympathy cards....

sadly my sister in law lost her battle with Dementia last week ..we cant go to the funeral down in Gloucestershire so a card will have to suffice for the time being....

I hope you are all staying home and staying safe....

a simple sympathy card....

I have needed too many of these cards this year....

the dreaded sympathy card.........made using Anna Griffin dies for the first two cards and tonic for the last one....

a sympathy card...

I Know these are the cards we don't want to have to make or send but I know how appreciated a handmade card is at a time of sorrow...just to know someone is thinking about you....

I have used the spellbinders heirloom oval to create an easel card with centura pearl .the sentiment is a Tonic die,the flowers are from my stash and will have come from Wild Orchid crafts....
As this goes live I will be heading back home from my visit to Harrow to stay with friends...oh an go to Ally Pally!...oh no you groan...not more crafty stash.......
