Butterflies and flowers With Sympathy

Each month I try to keep up with a stash of cards for Christmas and sympathy. For this sympathy I went out of the box and made a slim line design using my new dies from Studio Katia. And I used a sentiment die cut from Creative Expressions.  Then I pulled out some punches from Tonic for the flowers and Martha Stewart for the butterflies.

Christmas Chickadees

I like to get several Christmas cards done each month so that I don't have to scramble at the end of the year. I found in my stash that I had printed a free picture quite some time ago of these beautiful Chickadees and had this evergreen scrap of paper I don't know the maker of either of them. I embossed a woodgrain background and die cut a pine cone with glitter and liquid pearl. I didn't add a sentiment since I was trying to keep it simple and peaceful.

Althea with fish

I bought my own birthday present of these new Lavinia stamps. And when the technician was working on my internet I was making these cards so at least I was productive. I feel my hair has gotten this long since I couldn't get a hair for so long with the Co-vid restrictions. Now for fun, I also added some purple coloring to my hair so I am having to much fun overall with ink, lol. I made one card with sequins and one without.
