Welcome my crafty friends! Just a quick post today.  Today I have 3 sympathy cards I created using some of Susan's Garden Notes dies.  I have not done tutorials but they are very simple to do.  Because sympathy cards are usually not a planned thing it helps if you have a few flowers ahead so a card can be created in a timely manner.  These cards all have the Garden Notes Love In A Mist which I love to make. Card 1 has a background paper that I made myself by printing off a picture I had taken of old wallpaper. Card 2   the colorful oval was done with coffee filter and powder water colors. Card 3   the colorful image was done using Distress Oxide Inks. Thanks for stopping by and until next time - Happy Crafting! Christine   Elizabeth Craft Designs Supplies
