The Design Team has an added challenge on this hop to include
Get Well/Thinking of You/Sympathy in our projects.
You should have arrived here from:
I made two cards to share with you today. My first card has heat embossing on the
image and sentiment. I used a Canvas paper which is bumpy and doesn't take
stamping ink so well. So, using my MISTI tool I stamped them twice using
Versafine ink then clear embossed them.
The finished size is 4 1/2 square.
For my second card I used the new Sympathy die.
The layout is from the MOJO Monday 422 Challenge on April 4.
I heat embossed the word WITH from the small With Sympathy stamp.
I thought the font looked good with the Sympathy font.
The finished size is an A-2.
Next on the HOP is:

Love the way you framed the book Miriam! Both are beautiful ,love the patterned paper and layout of the second card... so pretty!
Thinking of you simply sweet. The sympathy card elegant
The sympathy card would be appreciated
for its calm demeanor. These are not
cards we like to send at any time.
I love that open book - as a retired librarian
I always like to see bookish stamps.
