Seize the Sketch Sympathy


Hello!
Hope you are having a great week so far!  Tomorrow (Thursday) Jacob has his Halloween Parade at school.  The Kindergarten students parade around the first level of the school in their costumes.  It is just too cute!!!

I had a few minutes this afternoon while Jacob was at cooking class to craft it up!  I needed a sympathy card for a friend who's grandmother passed away over the weekend.    The sketch at Seize the Sketch was just perfect!


I used decided that I wanted to use Basic Grey and Daffodil Delight on this card.  I used the Thanks for Caring stamp set (retired) and then combined it with some Polka Dot Parade Paper and a woodgrain background!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Basic Grey, Smoky Slate, Whisper White
DSP: Polka Dot Parade
Stamps: Thanks for Caring
Ink: Smoky Slate, Daffodil Delight
Other: Woodgrain Embossing Folder, Basic Grey Taffeta Ribbon, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals

Thanks for stopping by!
Have a fabulous day!
Jen
