Serene

As part of life, we all will eventually come to an earthly end and that is unavoidable. However, for those that stay behind the departure can be painful and friends and family play a vital role in comforting the living. Recently so many artists have died and I hear so many people in a terminal phase, that I could not help but make a Sympathy card.

I find that when I make a Sympathy card I hope that the person receiving it will find comfort in the beauty of the card. I try to keep a calming perspective to it, but also want to incorporate a bit of color. Today's card is based on the Mojo Monday challenge 435 and has a masculine feel to it. I used a piece of the retired Sweater Weather DSP for its neutrality. The image is from Serene Silhouettes and the sentiment for Teeny Tiny Wishes. The butterfly add a bit if color without being too much. I think it has a serene, calming look to it and I hope the person receiving it will feel just so.

It is summer!

Did you do anything special for the summer solstice? As much as I would loved to have done something special, the weekend was too busy to do more. Besides Father's day, my husband and I celebrated out 18th anniversary and on Saturday I was at the Farmer's Market. The weather was extremely beautiful, so we all spent most of the day outdoors. I did not even go anywhere near my craft room.

But I could no longer resist the call coming from my craft room and went there, saw the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 274 and immediately made this card. Very simple but with such a special touch of summer and warmth. The DSP is from the now retired Gold Soiree and the Butterfly Basics stamp set was used for both the flower and the butterfly. I used the blender pen to color the flower and note that I placed a punched Garden Green butterfly behind each of the stamped ones to give a bit of depth. A touch of ribbon and a marvelous bow using My Bow Maker and this card was completed.

Thank you for your visit today. Be well.
