Quotations...



'God has given us Memories that we might have Roses in December'

I love this quote by JM Barrie and was really pleased to find a PSX stamp on ebay that had it on. I didn't actually set out to make a sympathy card - I just wanted to find a beautiful rose picture that would work with the stamp, but as I made the card I realised that the quote was perfect to send to someone who had lost a loved one.

I stamped the quote onto cream card and then overlayed this with vellum - the quote is far easier to read in real life than in the photo - honest! I love the way vellum softens the effect of both coloured and patterned paper.

My card is just right for the challenge at http://lotstodocallenges.blogspot.com/ where this week they are thinking about 'quotations'.

Materials used:
  • soft gold card
  • cream card
  • PSX quotation stamp
  • vellum
  • rose painting image
  • cream organza ribbon
  • gold mock brads

Vellum wraps always make a card look expensive Ann. It's a beautiful card.

Your card is beautiful, definately your best to date. I just love it especially the picture of the roses, and the sentiment is just perfect for a sympathy card.
