Altenew & PTI
It's always sad to loose a friend & the fact that someone is elderly doesn't change that. Tomorrow I'll attend the memorial service for the father of childhood friends. He always gave me a big smile & seemed genuinely glad to see me. I'm at the age where the adults I grew up admiring are rapidly decreasing in numbers--this is the second one in a month. It also brings to the forefront my feelings of loss since my dad died nearly 7 years ago. It will be good to see a lot of people that were a huge part of my life, especially as a teenager. Our faith gives us peace in the midst of sorrow.
I used the color combo for the Altenew October Inspiration Challenge to make my card. The stamps are Layered Lily (only the top 2 layers) & Painted Sentiments stamped in Hero Arts Field Greens & Cup O' Joe, Memento Northern Pine & Distress Ink scattered straw (splatters). The ivory panel is mounted to soft gold dp.

I still had my Take 3 die on the table, so decided to use it. The stamp sets are Harvest Berries & Tiny Tags. My stamping is done with Frost White, Memento Love Letter & Hero Arts Cup O' Joe. I'm also entering Dies R Us. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.

two wonderful cards Greta - i like your frame card better than any of the others i've seen - probably because it is such a great design with those ginko leaves - and layered lily is also a fave stamp of mine - will mail you a pkg. tomorrow so be on the lookout.
ReplyDeleteTwo beauties, Greta! Sorry the first one is for a sad occasion!!
ReplyDeletePretty cards, I know it is hard to make card for such sad occasion, we all wish that we never have to use one of those.
ReplyDeleteTwo very lovely cards Greta. None of us likes having to male a sympathy card and as you said as we get older we are losing more of those who have been important in our lives. Barbxx
ReplyDeleteYour first card is really stylish and very fit for purpose and the second so effective with the frames and Kraft card Greta.

ReplyDeleteGood job Greta on your cards! I like how you used the ginko twice, stamping and die cut. When I see kraft cards, it reminds me how warm and cozy they make one feel.

It is never easy to lose someone and I'm so sorry for your loss. Sympathy cards are the hardest to make because of the emotions connected to them but it means so much to the recipient. This HA Field Green color is beautiful. I don't think I've ever seen that color ink before. The card is a lovely sympathy and I like the framing on your second card.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty cards Greta! Love the fancy frame built background and the beautifully stamped flowers are stunning!
ReplyDeleteboth cards are amazing, greta!! love how you used the painted lily stamps on the first one... so beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your loss...it's never easy, especially when it brings up feelings about those we're closest to ~ You have created two beautiful cards, Greta! I love how you played with the autumn colors, and how you stamped those gorgeous flowers on your sympathy card!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for your loss. Your card will bring comfort. It;s gorgeous and a handmade card is always special to receive. Especially on a sad occasion as this. Your card for PTI is lovely. Take care...
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are awesome, Greta. Great minds think alike using Take Three die-cuts? I also had to make a quick sympathy card for Tuesday. The wife of a former coworker died Monday and two days later he died...and they weren't in an accident. So very sad and sorry for your loss!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear of your loss Greta. Your thoughtful card for your childhood friend will be appreciated. Terrific job on your MIM card, love the pink & white on kraft!
ReplyDeleteGreta, both cards are simply lovely.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it will mean so much to your friend.
Oh Greta, loss is difficult, and especially so when it reminds us of a very personal loss. The card is beautiful and your friend will appreciate your time and love in making it. The ginko leaves are fabulous on your second card.
