I made a sympathy card as a neighbor of mine sadly and suddenly passed away on Mother's day at the tender age of just 63. I die-cut this angel with a GMD die and placed her in the sky among the clouds. I made the clouds with T.E. cloud stencils and some Speckled Egg distress ink, then added a few die-cut birds from my stash and covered everything with clear Wink of Stella. I added a small sentiment with some Smoky Slate grey ink and decided that was all it needed. I don't think I've ever made a sympathy card with an angel on it, but I really like how this turned out.
I'm going to share this with the following challenges:
the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - stencil it
Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge #405 - die cuts and/or stencils
Thanks for the visit and do have yourself a pleasant day. Life is short, so go out and enjoy the sunshine and smell those spring flowers!
