Hey there crafty friends. I'm so glad you dropped by.
Whether we like it or not, we have a need for sympathy cards and since my supply was getting low I decided to use the challenge at Tic Tac Toe to make a couple for my stash.
I used the left column down: CAS, metallic, foliage. The SSS leaf die was large enough to get two cards. Cut from green metallic paper, half the branch was placed on a stitched panel I found in my Bits box. The sentiment from Avery Elle was already in the package cut in this light green that I thought worked well. Here's a close-up so you can see the metallic shine of the leaves.
And here's the card made with the other half of the leaves. This one is on an embossed panel.
Sometimes I don't put a sentiment on a card, either because I don't know what to put or the card looks good without one, and that worked to my advantage since I needed a couple of prayer cards for friends having health issues.
I pulled this card from my birthday box and cut the SSS prayers die from the same Honey Bee paper that the flower was made from. The sub-sentiment is from the same set as the die.
What about you? Do you ever leave sentiments off to choose one when you need it?

These are all lovely, Bobby! I like the simplicity of the first two!
I prefer to leave the sentiments off, Bobby. I hate finding the perfect card in the box with the wrong sentiment. It's easy enough to add something when I want to send it out! Your leaves make beautiful, serene sympathy cards and the layered flower with matching sentiment is so pretty!
So lovely - clean and simple and ready to go when you need it! LOVE the die cut sentiment! Thanks for sharing your beautiful card with us at the Tic-Tac-Toe challenge this week!
I'm so sorry you needed this card, while a part of life, it doesn't make it eSier but it will express all your sentiments in a pretty way!
