Sympathy Card Using Cricut Art Philosophy and CTMH Laughing Lola Paper

Hi to all my fellow crafters.  I hope you are having a good fall/winter.  It is still in the 80's here in Southern CA.  I am glad it has cooled down at night and early morning.  We are very lucky here to have such fabulous weather most of the year.
 
I am so sad for all those people in the Philippines.  It is so hard to see the devastation of the effects for the Typhoon.  It really  makes me even more grateful for all we have here in the United States.  I know we have earthquakes, hurricanes, fires and tornadoes; but I think we are very blessed in our country.  I hope everyone that can will donate to help these people.  My biggest concern is that the U.S. hasn't been able to get over there with the donations.  I hope they are able to do this very soon before more people starve to death or die from injuries.
 
We had another death in our family a couple weeks ago.  My brother in law lost his uncle a couple weeks after my sister in law passed away.  I just sent the sympathy card I created for them.  I found this little stamp at Michael's and just had to have it.   I was going to color it; but decided it looked good with the black ink since it matched the black in the card so well.  I did create the snow on the branches so they would stand out more.  This card isn't quite this dark looking.  The colors are brighter than this; but it is the best I could do with the pictures.  You can click on the pictures and maybe see a better close up view of them.

  1. I like the crisp look of your card which is rather non traditional. It's a standout in design and composition. The die cuts are beautiful. The sentiment is comforting. We're happy for your continued support of our challenges at 613 Avenue Create. Thanks for dropping by again :)

  2. I love your little image and I think it was a great idea to leave it uncolored. The colors of the plaid papers are beautiful.
