I try to keep reminding myself that there's millions of others who are worse off than me at this moment in time!!
So how did I try to cheer myself up and shake off all this doom and gloom??? By making sympathy cards of course................... I know, I know, probably wasn't the best idea but didn't have one single solitary one in my stash and on Sunday I was asked by 4 different people if I had any!
I won't depress everyone even further by sharing them all, promise! Will save them for another day!
Here's one which wasn't exactly intended as a sympathy card but is likely to be sent to someone to let her know we're thinking about her as she goes through a particularly difficult time.
The stamps are an assortment from different companies but all are inked with Versafine Sepia Ink. I added some Stickles to the seed heads in the centre oval for a wee bit of sparkle.
The ovals were cut with a nestie using the scraps from the card base.
Sentiment stamped on bottom with same ink.
Sorry about the poor pic - think my little digi camera is about to go to the picture gallery in the sky as my pics are not as good as they should be................. or maybe it's ME????? LOL

I know how you feel Viv... big hugs to you! I love this card; oddly enough I just made a quick & dirty card and I picked up the same ribbon to use, then opted for a stripe one instead. xx

Feeding the ducks is bound to cheer you up Viv! A lovely card, the stamps are so delicate. Take care. Xx
This is pretty! Thanks for joining us at My Craft Spot.
Really lovely card Viv - and fancy those stamps all being from different sets, they look made for one another the way you've used them.
I think a lot of us have the blues right now - the sun came out to tease a bit today - which only made it seem gloomier when it disappeared, sigh.
Come and share a snippets card in the Playground - I dare you!
Hugs, Di xx
