Sweet Friendships with The Project Bin

Happy Saturday everyone!  Today I am sharing a card made for The Project Bin....these stamps are perfect for sentiment-focal cards and this one I decided to decorate up with pretty designer papers and a splash of black!

4 CC #354 {Sympathy + Technique}

Happy "4 Crafty Chicks" Thursday! This week, miss Nance is our hostess and she's looking for  Sympathy cards with a very cool (new to me) technique:

4 CC #354 {Sympathy with Triple Mat Technique}

I went in search of a tutorial for this technique and found it was actually extremely easy and fun to do - thank you Nance!!

For my flowers I used my "Happiness in Bloom" set from Papertrey Ink and the sentiment is from Verve from the "Beautiful Things" set.

This was a lot of fun to make and although sympathy cards are never an easy one, this technique makes it somewhat easier to create for those we've lost. I will definitely use this technique again!

Thanks so much for stopping in today - be sure to hop on over to the hen house to see what the Chicks are up to - their cards are gorgeous!!! 

Cheers!
