Encouragement and Sympathy



I am most in need of encouragement and sympathy cards these days, so that is what I focused on this week.  I fell in love with this sentiment from Picket Fence Grace Puppy.  I made a few of these cards to send out.


I am entering this card at Color Throwdown #589 and Addicted to CAS #183: Animal.





This week's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #431 inspired this sympathy card.






I made another sympathy card, this time inspired by the challenge at AAA Cards #163.





Last up is another encouragement card.  I completely forgot about this sentiment from Simon Says Stamp Hand Lettered Encouragement, and stumbled upon it when I was looking for something else.  I think I'll try to make a few more cards with it.  It seems to capture what is happening today perfectly.


I am entering this card at The Paper Players #486 (white is my neutray), Inkspirational #210: Spring and Cupcake Inspiration #491: Sentiment Main Focus.






Stay Safe

Thanks for Visiting
