Hello ...
We're having some wild weather here at the moment and yet I'm still finding Ladybirds everywhere in the house ... How weird
I've been spending time in my craft room making a few cards and keeping up with my DT work ... But yesterday I had to make a card for my husband's friend ... He lost his only brother this week
It's always hard to have to make a sympathy card
I hope this lets him know that we care
I used the inlaid die technique and I always think these little birds can say so much
I got myself one of the 'wink of stella' pens and used it on the leaves ... What fabulous stuff that is...
I seem to be splattering my cards all the time at the moment ... I love that TH pewter paint ... sadly I've knocked the bottle over 3 times now so just had to order a new one
The card stock started as plain white and though it looks as though I sponged it, it is in fact a digital from Pink Petticoat ... Ombre Paper selection. I love these and if you don't happen to have the colour inks to sponge, your short on time or you're not too clever at blending, I would highly recommend these.
I hope you have a lovely weekend ... stay warm and safe
Till soon

Holy cow Ros, this is stunning! Best use of this die EVER! Love the black and white and those little birds! Such an elegant and refined make! happy weekend, hugs and smiles :)
That motive and your design work very well for the occasion - it's a beautiful card that says it all.
Beautiful sympathy card! Love the background and all the sweet little birds!
Sorry to hear about your DH's friend. Gorgeous card Ros! Stay warm my friend... hugs...x
The card is lovely! I hope your friend find comfort knowing that someone is thinking of him!
Gorgeous paper, Ros, & perfectly crafted sympathy card. I've never tried a digital paper--not too good with printing, but may have to give it a try.
Beautiful design for the sympathy card...those little birdies make it perfect! You are very good at "splattering" your cards...I am still learning at that! And thanks for the tip on the papers, I will have to take a peek at them!!
your sympathy card is very pretty!
The ombre paper looks super!
Subtle and serene; perfect for a sympathy card. This technique adds a lovely touch to this card; love the birds.
XXXXXXX
I really REALLY like that inlay technique and your splatters. Apparently your crafty space felt the need to be decorated with pewter paint. hee hee Can you blame it. Lovely Ros.
Such a beautiful, winter-themed creation! Love those silhouettes, and your bit of silver shimmer is the perfect finishing touch! It's sure to be appreciated.
