Leafy Sympathy Card

Yesterday, Ann and my favorite huMAN went to a memorial for a very wonderful man who passed away recently. So, before they went, Ann made this leafy sympathy card to leave in the basket.

Although it only took Ann about 15 minutes to make, she felt good and put all the love inside it that she could. They were glad they went. It was a really good look into this man’s life and they got to see a lot of people that they hadn’t seen in awhile.

Isn’t that the way with funerals and memorials? You get to hear a bit more about someone you cared about and you get to catch up with old friends you’ve lost contact with.

And even thought a card took just 15 minutes doesn’t mean that it has less value. We counted the time that she took to cut the paper and find the stamps, but we didn’t count the time that she thought about what she was going to do. You know – her planning stage.

Card Making Tips

Ann used the Masking Sheets to cover the right side of the leafy layer.
Before attaching and stamping, she cut a wavy line with her Paper Snips.
The leaves are stamped in Mossy Meadow onto Old Olive.
Before removing the Masking Sheet, she used a Blending Brush and Old Olive to soften the edges.

It sure did help to have some things on hand.
