Thankfully, I do not need this card right now. I do find I like to make sympathy cards ahead of time, as they are hard to make when emotions are raw. This was for today's inspiration challenge on SCS. I used the reverse masking technique to create my oval background. I then stamped my Fancy Pants flourish and MSE sentiment. Topped off with K & Co pearls and a dragonfly brad. It created the softness that I was looking for. My fingers seem to always be full of ink these days. The look was completed using my MM distresser and then Distress ink on the edges. I inked up my ivory satin ribbon a little too. Enjoy your weekend. Happy Stamping!

It is gorgeous and looks very soothing! I love the colors you chose. I've never thought about my own feelings having an effect on the outcome of the card, that's so smart of you!

Comforting and elegant at the same time.
What a lovely card! It's so good to make it when the emotions are not so high. I always think I need to do that, but never do.
