The Craft's Meow - Hope Blooms

Today, I have a sympathy card to share.  I created it for my friend Karen, her dad passed away suddenly Monday.  The image and sentiment are from The Craft's Meow - Hope Blooms.  The papers are TAC "Catelynne" available at RRD.
I stamped the flower on the green patterned paper with Memento ink and then added come copic marker, YG95, YG97.  The petals were stamped on X-Press It cardstock and colored with Copics R32, R35, R37. The colored image was cut out and added to the green cardstock.  The Kraft cardstock is from PTI.
I really liked the design of this card, the sentiment could be anything, so I made a Birthday Card too for a friend at church. The "Happy Birthday" sentiment is from Biblical Impressions.

  2. Debra, your single Hope Blooms flower looks fabulous on this loving card. Lovin' the effect of your stamping onto the pp then piecing your colored petals. So glad to see your entry at the Crafts and Me Stamps' digi team's "My Sentiments Exactly!" challenge. Hugz, ~ Rose
