With Sympathy and HLS Announcement


Hi everyone.  Today I'm sharing a sympathy card I made a little while ago for very good friend who's mother had recently passed away.  I CASED this card I made a while ago from my friend, Mary's birthday.  I used the same sprays and ghosting technique to make the background.  Then I added the two-layer die-cut butterfly, flourish, and heat embossed the sentiment in white.





I'm also sharing some exciting news.  Yesterday, Kylie (Kylie is Addicted to Stamps), owner of Happy Little Stampers Forum, HLS Challenge Blog, Addicted to CAS Challenge blog, and Addicted to Stamps & More Challenge blog (whew!!) :) ... launched her first release of Happy Little Stampers stamps.  It is very exciting, and I hope you'll check out the shop HERE and take a look at her first four sets of stamps that are available NOW! :)

For those of you outside of Australia ... Kylie is shipping internationally - YAY!  She has already shipped mine and I can't wait to get them and start playing!

The prices in the shop are in Australian currency, so you might want to keep that in mind.  That means the prices will be a lot less for anyone using U.S. currency (today's rate is $1 AUD = $0.73 USD) ... and even a little cheaper for my fellow Canadian's (today's rate is $1 AUD = $0.95 CDN).









Stamps:  Bloom of Hope (SU)
Paper:  White (Neenah); Watercolour (Arches 140 lb. cold press)
Ink:  Versamark
Accessories & Tools:  Green sprays, Leaf stencil cut with my Silhouette Cameo, Moonlight and Kaleidoscope butterfly dies (Memory Box), Flourish #6 (Crafty Ann), white embossing powder, heat tool

    Everytime I see one of these cards I tell myself I must make some of these backgrounds. Well this week it has to happen. I absolutely love this card. Was checking out Kylies new stamps too, brilliant and sure is a big save for America and Ebgland with our dollar so low.
