Bloom with Hope

A clean and simple sympathy card today. I have a colleague who was heading north to assist her mom with the declining health of her dad. She was scheduled to leave last Friday but got a call on Wednesday that he was rapidly declining. She left immediately. On Friday we got news that she arrived safely and then a few hours later learned her dad had passed away. It seems clear he hung on until she got there. I think that is beautiful and I know she feels really good about it.

I wanted to get a card off to here quickly. I started with a Whisper White Note Card and Envelope. I love the weight of the Whisper White note card and hope Stampin' Up comes out with Whisper White in this heavier weight stock in the annual catalog.

The Bloom with Hope stamp set is one of the Hostess sets in the Annual Catalog. This is such a pretty set. I did not get it initially thinking I have plenty of floral stamp sets yet I love the simplicity and ability to use the Blendabilities to make each use unique. I used the Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie Blendabilities.

NOTE: When you use the Blendabilities the ink bleeds through which is why I used another piece of Whisper White card stock for the images and popped them up on Stampin' Dimentionals and adhered to the Note Card.

I have used this sentiment before and it is not Stampin' Up. It is a Verve stamp and I just love the font.

Thanks for stopping by. Make it a great day!
