Rembrance Sunday

Wow!  Late!  I guess the time change really had an effect on me since I completely forgot to get this posted yesterday. Or maybe it's been the deluge of rain we've also been having. Luckily, it quit in time for the little ones to get out trick or treating. I had a few here this year. Anyway, better get to the business at hand.

The theme this time over at One Stitch at a Time is Anything Goes with Day of the Dead/Remembrance Sunday. I decided on Remembrance Sunday. I don't keep a lot of sympathy cards on hand and this month marks the first anniversary of my brother-in-law's passing. It was right before Thanksgiving last year.
Materials Used:
  • Image - Stitchy Stamps - Fall Blessings
  • Sentiment - Whiff of Joy - General Sayings II
  • Cardstock - Xpress it Blending Card; Stampin Up Soft Sky
  • Designer Paper - Basic Gray Marjolaine collection
  • Accessories: Stampin Up oval punch and oval scallop punch; Stampin Up Soft Sky ribbon; Recollections - Bling Corner
  • Copic Markers - B00, B000; E23, E25, E27; Y11, Y13, Y25, YG06, YG11, YG13, YG63, YR04
Our sponsor - Stitchy Stamps is giving away this prize pack to one lucky winner =
I hope that you'll come on over and play with us this fortnight. You could be the winner or one of the Top 3 picked by the Design Team members.

    Oh, dear, I remember when your brother-in-law passed. So sad. You chose a beautiful image and it makes a lovely sympathy card. I really like the sentiment, too. Our doorbell rang once on Halloween. That's about our yearly average.

    A beautiful image and beautiful card. Sympathy cards are always so hard to make but know wherever this one goes it's going to be appreciated so much.
