Hello my wonderful crafty pals. You are all so good to me and I am so lucky to have you join me and I am very glad you enjoy your visits. I have to own up to being tempted to go out and buy cards as I found these two difficult to make, but I kept them very simple. My FM has been shockingly bad and although I have tried hard I felt like a total zombie yesterday. Please imagine a zombie trying to fit purchases into an already full freezer!!!! - never mind battered cod I think I battered everything.
Anyway enough moping and onto my simple cards. I have a few PSX stamps and have to admit they are always so easy to use. My photos are not great but you will get the gist.

Lovely Flora I know what you mean about sympathy cards I have to admit I buy mine x
ReplyDeleteBoth your cards are really lovely, Flora. Sympathy cards are hard to create, as we need to be very careful with design and colour......yours are perfect.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that your FM has been bad. I've not been too good either, so I completely sympathise xx
Beautiful cards Flora. Gorgeous stamp and I love the marvellous squares.
ReplyDeleteMarvellous Squares is a favourite of mine and looks great here. Sympathy cards are so difficult to make but these look lovely. Sorry you haven't been well but hope you are feeling a little better. Christine x
ReplyDeleteThis category of card is difficult to make but I always try because some of the shop ones are dreadful (in my opinion anyway). These are classic and elegant - just right. Take care and hope the sunshine makes you feel better.

hi Flora, sorry you have not been well again, must be so hard.
ReplyDeleteyour cards are really lovely, what a beautiful stamp. take care pam
These are two very elegant sympathy cards Flora, never the easiest cards to make.
ReplyDeleteI quite often go shopping and buy loads of things to go in the freezer (usually special offers) only to get home and find there is no room for them all so you are certainly not alone.
I'm sorry you have not been well, I hope you soon feel a little better.

Lovely elegant cards these are one of the hardest cards to make I think ,I hope you are feeling better soon .Melanie
ReplyDeleteThese clean and elegant designs work perfectly for sympathy cards.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are lovely. I found your page when I did a google search for fibro sympathy cards. I have FM as do many people I know and had woke up wondering if there were any fibro cards on the market to buy and send to those who are dealing with the same horrible fate. I honestly am in awe at what you do, because I barely have the strength or will power to even get up each day, because every day is worse in some way and my family is the type that doesn't believe its a real condition, since disability has denied me twice now, but at age 43 I wake feeling 143 and most times wish I just wouldn't wake up. My kids despise me, considering me a medication junkie due to what I need to take to even be somewhat mobile, and they are ages 21, 22 and 24...
ReplyDeleteYou are inspiring and creative and I admire your work and feel your pain at the same time. God bless.
