A sad and a happy card

My first personal card this week, was a condolences card.  My friend’s Nan passed and I made this for her.  (This is the first hand made card she had received – so I will be making her a more happy one next time !)

Recipe

Papermania papers in black and white.
Black cardstock
Pearls
Sentiment
embossing folder
and sizzix swirls and flower dies.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Cardmakin Mamas – Cut it out challenge
Wags’n’whiskers – black plus ribbons or pearls
crafty ribbons challenge – Bingo board
For your inspiration challenges – challenge 17

NOW for the happy card.  It is my best friend’s birthday and since I moved away we meet up once a month.  This is the card I made for her birthday. My mate lives in North Cornwall.  The gorgeous teal/turquoise colours in this card remind me of the fabulous coastal scenery in a place that will always be dear to my hear.   The gorgeous Sarah Kay image was of course coloured with promarkers.

This is the front of the complete card

    Both cards are really stunning Lisa. Condolence cards are sadly not the type of cards we like to make, but youve done a smashing job on it. And Im sure your best friend will just love her card, youve put an incredible amount of work into it. Lee x

    Two beautiful cards. So difficult to make a good condolence card and you have done a fabulous job, and I love the second card too. That's my favourite MS punch on the inside. What a wonderful idea to use it in the way that you have.

    Your sympathy card is so elegant, I'm sure your friend will appreciate the thought it look's like it was made with a lot of care. Your “happy” card is so fun and I'm glad I got a chance to see this as well! Thank you for joining us this week over at the Papercraft Star!
