This was the first of a week long Challenge at Moxie Fab World.
http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2010/11/card-creations-favorite-occasions-week.html
All occasion cards are those cards that encompass occasions that don't fit anywhere else ~ missing you, hello, friendship, encouragement, thinking of you, sympathy, blank, etc.
I find Sympathy cards one of the most difficult to create, but usually enlist one of my many 'flower' stamps to help out here. Also, my card will always have a Clean and Simple style and I try for elegant and pastel colors. This card seems to represent what I will create for these sad occasions.
My Card~
Cardstock: White base card is from Georgia Pacific, off to the right of the card face is embossed
Stamp: Hydrangea is from Anna Griffin
Ink: the image was stamped on white paper with Chocolate Brown from Stampabilities and colored in with Decorative Chalks then it was cut out and set on the card with Pop Dots for a 3-D effect
Embellishments: Sheer Lavender ribbon from Joann's
