Sympathy

Hi everyone,
Well this week is turning out to be a real downer.  Yes they say that things come in threes and three of my students have had travesty's in their lives this past week.  This next card is for a grandfather's death of one of our students.  The design is actually CASEd from Ewen Style...I love this lady's cards!  I was surprised I didn't actually have the flourish Memory box that she used (let's put it this way, I've become a collector), but it did give me a chance to try this one out, which is closely related.

The scallop is from Spellbinders.  The doily is from Cheery Lynn.  The Flourish is Memory Box.  The center shape is from Stampin Up and the border is from Paper Trey.  An all star cast of die cuts! LOL.
The sentiment is also from Stampin Up.  The paper is actually from Hobby lobby in one of their super duper books (Paper Studio) where they had similar patterns in different colors.  I used the Liquid pearls to paint the dots around the scallop and although it's hard to see, I used stickles to dot the edges of the flourish.  Eight little Swarovski line the sentiment.  This picture actually doesn't do the card justice...if I do say so myself.  Well I hope you enjoyed this card, even if it is for sad reasons...will stop by again tomorrow.  Til then....Enjoy your day!
