Hello my friends. I hope the week has treated you kind so far.
Today I have a card I made for a celebration of life. We all have those times when we need to say a few words to someone that has suffered a loss and I find the hostess set, Bloom with Hope has just the right sentiment. So don't forget that it will be retiring very soon .....
So here it is.....I really like these colours and after I made this card I took a peek around and I think I have put them together before....What do you think???
Pretty simple design as we have a great sketch to work with. I didn't want to much on the card base itself so a couple of fern fronds added the right feel. Here is the inside and I left room for a personal note.
Now as the front of the card was heavy with all the layers I added some layering inside to balance it out a bit. And the fronds to bring it together. Here is the sketch.....
And all the products I put to use. Click on them and it takes you directly to my online store.
Now off you go to see what the rest of my talented design team members have created just for you....Have fun and thanks for visiting. Please let me know what you think.....and as always should you need a demonstrator I would love to be yours. Contact me and we can put something together before all the goodies you love disappear.

What a great way to use that fern stamp by itself Shelagh!

Sorry you had the need for a sympathy card but you have done it justice. I'm really liking that fern stamp by itself too!

You are so clever to use the fern from butterfly basics but not the butterflies, that stamp works so well on its own x

Great card Shelagh, love how you have layered all the banners.

I think you did a great job Shelagh, your card is lovely. It's always so difficult to create in these circunstances.

I like those colors together, it's nice warm and understated, perfect for a sympathy card.
