It's time to share the card I made for today's Online Card Class.
Day 3 is creating shaped cards with dies.
I used my Spellbinders Wonky Rectangles to create this shaped card.

I used my new favorite stamp set, Paper Smooches Reflections, Paper Smooches Sentiment Sampler and this Paper Smooches Sparks inspiration photo, as I am entering it into the Paper Smooches Sparks Design Team call. To enter, you can find more information here.
Here's a close up of the card, as I did something I rarely do... I added texture!
A while ago, my mother-in-law asked me to create some sympathy cards for her. In general, this is just something I don't do... I dread them, in fact...
...but my father actually passed away 1 year ago later this week so it's something that's been weighing on my mind. My father and I weren't that close but I still think about him often. He was a good man, close to nature so this card really speaks to me and reminds me of him. It would have been a beautiful wedding or bridal shower card but my heart is absolutely elsewhere this week.
Don't get too sad though...
Next week will be all about birthdays!
I turn 31 next week!!!! Ack!
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Beautiful color combo!
your card is lovely!
It is so lovely and classy. Perfect for a sympathy card. I personally hate making them too, but it is necessary. I recall the cards I got when my hubby passed away, and they meant a lot to me, and so, I like to do the same..Just really hate making them. Make sure you celebrate big next week!
This is so pretty!
Love this sooo CAS!!
This is a gorgeous card and I feel the same about making sympathy cards. Unfortunately, it feels like I have to make them often. I hope that you find some peace this week also as you think of your father. The card is truly perfect.
Perfect sympathy card!!
I love the simply stated design.
