My hubby's friend's wife lost her mother several days ago, and hubby asked me to make a sympathy card for her. This is the keepsake card I made and I'd like to share it with you:
I made the embellishment on the front made with resin. If you click on it to enlarge it, you will see I actually layered the wording over the picture so that the words would have a raised/floating effect. I tried using UTEE and it was okay, but it wasn't crystal clear like the resin is.
Here is the inside of the card:
The inside reads: "Your loss is so great, our words so small; but we offer our condolences".
Because I did add some rhinestone bling to the front of the card, I'm submitting it for the bling challenge at Frosted Designs.
Now, something special, by request last year I did a tutorial on an Easter basket I made from Loopy Chenille. Finally, I get a chance to see what someone has done using my tutorial. My friend MsJay made the basket and it's posted on her blog today! I am so excited and proud to see she did such a fabulous job that I'd like to present and share it with you:
Didn't she do a fantastic job?!!! She will be entering this basket in a contest and I wish her good-good luck!!!
Well, I hope you like my card! That's it for now, but...
I'll be seeing you!

That is a beautiful card and the resin on there is just awesome. The resin looks like something I may wan to get into doing next. Thanks for featuring the basket.
Your card is lovely and I'm sure will be cherished.
Audrey, this is a very elegant card - love the rosette lace. The embossing and bling add to the sweetness of the card as does the resin design and the lovely words. Your friend did a super job with the loopy chenille basket - very nicely done!
