Love & Sympathy Cards

Do you ever feel like you should just sit down and make a BUNCH of cards that can be used for anything?  I'm beginning to think that, especially for the too many needed sympathy card. 

I went with my old faithful Love & Sympathy set.  This time I chose to use Calypso Coral and added an extra layer of Whisper White under the Whisper White with the stamped area.  I think it looks pretty good - what do you think?


I love this flower.  It's so easy to color with our Stampin' Write Markers and then stamp onto the card stock.  Being a small stamp and the fact that the stamp isn't smooth, makes it a perfect marker to stamp process.
 

On one of the cards, I was too anxious to put it together and forgot to stamp the Love and Sympathy on the front, so the message is conveyed inside.  Works for me!


Thank you for looking in today!

      Whisper White (with Perfect Polka Dots) 5 1/4" x 4"
      Calypso Coral 4 1/4" x 2 1/4"
      Whisper White 4 1/8" x 2 1/8"
      Whisper White 2" x 4" (the stamped layer is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals)
