No one really enjoys making sympathy cards but unfortunately we all have to make them at one time or another and I thought the prayering hands in the new "Feeding My Soul" Hanna Set would be perfect for a sympathy card. This set will be released by Hanna Stamps 2nd October.
I used this week's sketch challenge over on SCS to create my card. The river rock panel on the base card was embossed using the birds & swirls cuttlebug embossing folder.
Recipe:
Stamps: Feeding the Soul, Everyday Greetings - Hanna Stamps
Paper: White; River Rock, Soft Sky, Always Artichoke & Le Jardine DP - SU
Other: Black Ink; Birds & Swirls Cuttlebug Embossing Folder; Circle & Oval Nestabilities; Green Brads; Green Grosgrain Ribbon; Foam Tape; Copics
I think I also mentioned Blog Candy .... here is the info:
What's better than chocolate mousse???? New Riley's of course!!!!

WOW! one year old already. I have a few Hanna stamps sets, but I don't yet have any Riley stamps, and living in Canada I have a strange fondness for moose. They are definitely on my list.
Your card is very nice, and although we never want to think about needing sympathy cards, I agree it is always better to have some prepared in advance.
Very nice card, thanks so much for sharing.
I can't wait to see the new Riley!!
Can't wait for the new release. Hope I get a stamp set.
