Sympathy CASE

My mom requested a few more sympathy cards and I thought my Just Believe stamp set would work perfectly.  So, I went onto Stampin Connection for some ideas and found this card by Abbie Johnson.  She used different colors and more embelleshments, but it's the general idea I was going for.  I used Chocolate Chip, Bashful Blue, and Whisper White.  My other stamp set to finish off the sentiment is Close as a Memory (retired).  I love the torn edge look, which Abbie used as well, so I hope you like it! Thanks, Abbie, for the beautiful card to CASE!

Yet another Sympathy Card

I'm not really sure why I'm on such a sympathy card kick, other than the fact that I really like this stamp set.  So, this will be my last sympathy card for a bit.  I CASED the general color scheme from Heather Bhatti on Stampin Connection. 

Stamp Set: Close as a Memory (114946) Paper: Rich Razzleberry (115316), Orchid Opulence (100969), Old Olive (100702), Whisper White (100730) Ink: Rich Razzleberry (115658), Old Olive (102277)

I also finished off the inside of the card on this one too.  I know it takes alot more paper, but it looks so nice.

You'll notice on alot of my cards that I am constantly using Rich Razzleberry.  I was a bit obsessed when I first started card making.  I promise to tone it down a bit and start using some new color combos : )

Close as a Memory

This is my Close as a Memory sympathy card.

To make this card here is what I used

Stamp Set:Close as a Memory (114946) Paper:Very Vanilla (101650), Always Artichoke (105119), Ruby Red (102030) *retiring*, Not Quite Navy (101722), Confetti Cream (102835) Ink: Chocolate Chip (100908), Always Artichoke (105219), Ruby Red (102259) *retiring*, Not Quite Navy (103008) Accessories & Tools: Mellow Moss Ribbon (109069) *Retiring*, Bone Folder (102300), Paper Cutter (104152), The Tearing Edge (102930), and adhesive

I liked the "finished" look of the inside from samples I had seen of other cards so I added in a layer of Not Quite Navy and Confetti Cream and stamped the sympathy message on the inside.
