I am really excited about this card because I really feel like it gets back to my roots of SIMPLE and STRESSFREE stamping! It actually hardly has any stamping at all. Maybe that is why I like it so much because I didn't have a big mess to clean up after I was done! Oh, and it has flowers, which I have really been neglecting here lately since it is now fall and Christmas is just around the corner. I used the challenge over at
The Friday Mashup! for this one. The challenge is to make a project using dry embossing and the colors Basic Black, Basic Gray and Daffodil Delight. I decided to make a sympathy card.
I thought the gray and black were good for a sympathy card and then the daffodil kind of brightened it up a bit. The funny thing is, when Brett saw it he was like "Aww, you're here for me!" I laughed and said it was a sympathy card and he didn't need my sympathy. :) So then he asks who I'm sending it to...ummm, I'm supposed to give my cards away? Oops! I am really bad at that! I make them and throw them in a big basket! Occasionally I will have a customer buy some, but most of them just sit there! I need to get into the habit of mailing out a few every day. You never know; maybe it could help my business grow!

Very striking card with the black, gray and pop of bright yellow. Love the polka-dot embossing on the flowers and the sweet button centers.
