Sympathy Card Using CTMH Every Little Thing Stamp & Thin Cut

Hello Friends!  I know it is cooling down for most of the US; but not much cooler here in Southern CA.  I hope everyone is doing well.

I have been working on some cards with some of my new CTMH products.  Some of the products are retiring; but I am trying to get something created before they retire.   I am slow sometimes in using new products; plus this one I was late in buying it.  There are so many new items in the Core Catalog alone; that I could just work on that one forever.  

I found out a neighbor lady had passed away; and we were one of the last people to find this out.  I created this card for her husband and daughter.  I decided being late was fine; since we were not aware of her passing.

The CTMH With Heartfelt Sympathy D1919 stamp set is one of my favorites and it is still available.  It has such heartfelt messages on it and well worth having for future Sympathy cards.  




Supplies used to create this card:

All Occasion Card Using Conie Fong Twinkle Emily PNG with CTMH Stitched Lattice Background and other products

 Hello Friends! Crazy weather across USA.  It was 104 degrees today in Los Angeles and it snowed in Wisconsin.  Can you believe this crazy weather?  It is Oct and over 100 degrees. Just nuts.  Global warming is getting worse and worse.

I have been playing with my new Distress Oxide Inks and having so much fun.  They blend so well and open up another world of creativity.  The greatest thing for me, is that they do not smell.  Most crafting products have a horrible odor and I am not able to work with them.  I was delighted to find out that these did not smell.  

I have always liked gorgeous backgrounds full of color; but I mostly use gorgeous designer paper.  You will probably see more of my background and hopefully I will improve over time.
