Hi friends! I had some things going on (Valentine's Day celebrations with friends) this weekend and had trouble getting this blog done! But the card was done, so that's all that matters, I guess! Maria chose a pretty and timely color palette for our Color Week at Just Us Girls!
I was done making Valentine cards, and I've been trying to keep up with my sympathy card making. Seems I always need these. I just sent out three. :-( This pretty die from Memory Box was die cut from white cardstock, then I just put some scraps of white cardstock to die cut the heart again. I colored them with red copic markers and stacked them back into the die. I chose some pretty pink gingham paper to put behind it. The sentiment was die cut three times from white and stacked as well. The stamped sentiment was stamped in a dark gray ink. I added some shimmer on the heart and sentiment and some crystals to finish it off. This is a square 4.25 x 4.25 card.
You can see more from our JUGs design team and our February guest on the JUGs blog.
Thanks for stopping by!

What a lovely way to frame the sentiment. I like the pop of red from the single heart. This is wonderful Lisa!
Such a pretty sympathy card
Beautiful use of the combo of dies - stunning!
These colors make a fabulous Sympathy card ...or it's just Lisa's talent that prevails. Anyhoo, Well done once again! The added pop of red is perfect!
WOW Lisa this is stunning. Fabulous dies and how perfect to have that wee red heart. So touching!
What a beautiful die! This card is amazing. I really hate making sympathy cards but you really knocked this one out of the park. Great job.
This is gorgeous! I love those dies layered over the pink gingham background to create this beautiful and unique sympathy card. Love the way the red heart pops on this.
I just realized I never commented on your card from last week, Lisa. That is such a beautiful frame and the die cut sentiment works with it perfectly. Having the heart as part of it was a great way to add the red.
