I never seem to have a sympathy card on hand when I need one, but then most of us don’t. These are not the type of cards any of us enjoy making. Thankfully, I don’t need one right now.
I got SU’s Special Blessings for my birthday and it’s been sitting on my craft table for a couple of weeks patiently waiting its turn for a little love.
I finally inked up the cross and learned that this cross looks better in dark ink. I tried it in a few lighter blues for a softer touch and really just didn’t like the look at all. So, I grabbed my Pacific Point pad and loved the look I got.
I stamped my image twice, then cut one of the images. But, when I cut the cross, I cut close to the cross for a little extra pop. I mounted my cross with dimensionals, on my oval cut with my nesties. I used my CB Swiss Dots folder for my background and mounted everything on some basic black.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day!

Beautiful! Perfect everything. What a great design and colors.
Great idea to pop up the cross. I think this is a lovely sympathy card. The embossing folder you chose is a perfect textured background.
Beautiful card hun!!!! Love the colors on this:)
Have a nice day!!

This is a beautiful sympathy card. Glad you don't need to use it right now, but they are sooooo good to have on hand. Love the popped up cross :)
This is a beautiful sympathy card. I know that i need to make a few to have on hand.
This is a most beautiful card!
This is beautiful! Love the CB folder you used...a nice sympathy card, always good to have ready.
Michelle,

Your cards are beautiful as always!!!
Great card! Love the white on white and the blue really makes the focal image of the cross stand out.
I always love the pop out look, but never can seem to remember to do it myself. Thanks for reminding me and showing off this little idea with a great creation.
The card has just the right amount of colour, I think. It has turned out beautifully.
Did you change the blog background? Or have I just not noticed before now?
that is GORGEOUS, simple yet beautiful :0)
and yes, Im fine thanks for asking :0x
p.s if you wanted that wedding image its a free digistamp available here
Simple, elegant and perfect for the occasion.
I stopped making sympathy cards for "just in case". It seems like whenever I have them in my stash, someone we know dies. That actually happened three times in a row within 2 months time. So now I wait until I need them to make them.
Simple and Beautiful!
This is such a pretty card, I love the cross and the color is fantastic!
Beautiful statement! Love this image! Awesome job! Blessing to you!
This is beautiful! I love the swiss dots behind the oval with the cross.
This is beautiful! The Pacific Point ink makes the cross stand out just the right amount. Great job on the card.
