Card Design: A Heartfelt Sympathy Card using San's Design



Hello my fine bloggy friends.  I hope that you are all well and not suffering too badly from the severe heat hitting many parts of the world.  It is time to showcase another card using one of San's wonderful images.  This time I've gone back in time and am using an image she created awhile ago. 

Today I have a sympathy card to share with you.  It was created using one of San's older heart images. I actually made the card back in May so I think it is finally time I present it.


I just love the intricacies of this heart.  I brought it into Photoshop Essentials 5 and coloured it digitally to match the tones of the DP I used on the inside of my card.   As it is a card for a sombre occasion, I wanted to keep the card clean and simple and make the heart the focal point of the piece.

If you are interested in purchasing this image, please click on the watermark below and it will take you to its location in the store.

Here is the inside of my card...


I've used my own sentiment which you can find HERE.  It is a freebie and available in one image or separated into two like the one I used in my card above.

Well that is it for this post.  Stick around because the latest quest in the treasure hunt will be out later today.  If you don't know what I'm referring to then check out the post by clicking HERE.  You'll find out everything you need to know in order earn 10 different digital papers that are part of a set I've called, "Living on the Edge".

Happy 50th Anniversary Momma & Poppa

I just want to take a moment to wish my parents a very happy anniversary.  It was 50 years ago today that they became man and wife.  I'm not going to get to spend this weekend with them so I wanted to make sure I took a moment to send them a special shout out.
 Here is a special freebie for you to have in honour of this extraordinary occasion:
 Also, here is the original background graphic I used. It is from Antique Images:

 The graphics from Antique Images may be used for personal or commercial use. I have a feeling I'll be returning to this wonderful blog again and again for inspiration! You can even share Antique Images on your web site for free if you would like, as long as a link is provided back to Carolyn's site. 

Check back a little later today for this week's showcase.

Until then,
