We have had a wonderful day , Doug and I . My son Sonny ,his new partner and our two grandsons are back from visiting Michelle in Queensland . They spent today with us and will do again tomorrow . We all talked and talked , as you do when loved ones who live far away come to visit.
No card made today but I would like to share this one I made the same time as Warmest Wishes post 26th September.
Chocolate Chip card base here with pink from DSP, Patterns Stack Subtles Collection and River Rock for image and sentiment . It too has been made with sympathy wishes in mind.
I tore pink piece just a little smaller than card front and adhered it flat .
When I stamped the flower spray . from Kaisercraft, I cut around right hand side so that it would fit snugly into card corner overlapping pink layer when attached with foam 3D tape The sentiment from , Upsy Daisy, was punched out with SU 1 3/4" Circle Punch and adhered to pink .
I added some rhinestones to finish .
A friend said to me , regarding this card , isn't the bright pink and the sudued colour of image and sentiment at odds with each other ?. This was my rational . The darker colours represent, to me, the sadness we feel for their loss but the pink is for the happy memories we hold dear.
Complicated arn't I?Hope you like it . Catch you again soon , cheers for now , Shirley-Anne.

ReplyDeleteHi Shirley-Anne, so lovely to know that your son and his family spent time with you... memorable moments, these.
ReplyDeleteYour card is lovely. I understand fully your rationale of pink there. Infact it offsets the muted colours so well. I like the floral spray very much.
