Unfortunately we all need sympathy cards at times and as I don't have any in my stock I need to make some. I like to keep thees fairly simple. You really don't want a fussy sympathy card. I stamped the Inkylicious flowers with Memento Rich Cocoa onto linen card and teamed it with a Craftwork Cards card blank, swiss dots ribbon from Crafty Ribbons and Bo Bunny Timepiece papers.
Challenges
As you like it Favourite C&S style and why (I love using stamps with no colouring and ribbon for CAS cards and love these shaped cards for added interest)
Delicious Doodles Use ribbon
The Ribbon Girl Anything Goes
On a more cheerful note here is the stuff I bought on holiday. Apologies that the pics aren't great but the light was going and I wanted to take some pics. I hope I get time to put them away today but there is a mountain of ironing to start tackling and we need to go food shopping today. It may be later in the week before I find time to start crafting and catching up on blogging.
Items for altering and playing around with.
Scrapbook (£3, can you beleive it)
Mainly scrapbooking goodies

Have you entered my candy yet? I will have another shorty with some goodies I bought in Florida for one of my lovely followers.

Hi Marianne, Lovely card, very elegant. Great stash. That is the reason I would love to go there again, just to go the the enormous craft outlets. Been twice to Florida, so can't justify going again! Hugs, Carol S.xx

Ah yes, I am not so good at sympathy cards but I agree that a simple stamped design works really well and I do like the DP you picked to go with this one.
Wow, look at all your lovely goodies - that will keep you busy for a while... once you have finished unpacking, ironing and shopping!
