It MUST be Friday ('cause it's Friends With FLAIR!)

Yea, yea, yea! It's definitely Friday! And, my last day of work for a week.  I'm looking forward to a few days of R & R and some girl time with my BFF's and our 4-legged friends.

I know I've been showing a lot of sympathy cards lately, but I have another to share today.  This one went to a good friend who recently lost her brother:

I used the Unity Stamp Company set, "Moments In Bloom". The set has great flowers and sentiments.  The sentiment I used on this card is from Close To My Heart.  I used a Viva Decor Pearl Pen in Sunny Yellow on this card, and Marvy Uchida Brush Art Markers.

Happy crafting, everyone!  

It's Friday! and it's Friends With Flair

Since my father died a month ago today, it seems like I've been needing more than enough sympathy cards.  The one I'm sharing today is for a DT sister on one of the teams I'm on. I realized anew the importance of  sympathy cards and the handmade ones I recently received were, of course, my favorites.  So, I set to work making this one:

I used the Unity Sentiment Kit, "May Hope Sustain You".  I used Marvy Uchida brush art markers on the image to get the different colors.  The sentiment is stamped with Close To My Heart Barn Red Ink. Papers are by My Mind's Eye and so are the Enamel Dots. Both are from the Collectable collection.  The ribbon is some I've had forever  -- maybe Fancy Pants? I used several Spellbinders dies and a CTMH corner rounder on this card, too.

Have a great weekend, everyone! I hope you find some time to get inky!
