Sympathy Card Using Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

Hello Crafters!  I have not been able to do any crafting since before Christmas; but I have this card I created in November when we lost my sister-in-law.  I wish now I had embossed it first; but hindsight is always better.  LOL!

It is a New Year and a chance to start again or pick up where you left off for another fabulous year!  I am hoping this will be a better year for me with my health issues.  Always something new to look forward to and to be grateful.  I am very grateful that I feel as good as I do; but would love to feel better.  I am grateful for my life, my family, my friends in and out of Blog Land.  It is going to be a great year!

Supplies I used to create this card:

Die Cuts - Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge
Cardstock - CTMH Juniper
Paper - Colorbok Spring Morning
Ink - CTMH Juniper

    Gloria, I'm so sorry for the personal reason for this card but I have no doubt that it would have brought a lot of love and support. It is so beautiful and I love the symbolism in your image and colour choices. What really comes through in this card is your Love and thoughts which makes this card very special and supportive. Good luck in our extended challenge. Ingrid xx ( OSAAT Team )

      Thanks Becca for your wonderful complement. When you are ready to order it; just let me know. I try to help out with either a free retired stamp set I own, the SOTM, postage or whatever I can do to help you get it. It is my favorite; has 100 card bases and is a fabulous cartridge. 700 images. Plus comes with matching stamp sets for some of the die cuts. Have a wonderful 2014. Hugs, Gloria
