River Rock Sympathy – CC155
I just found out today that one of my Mom’s friend’s husband died yesterday. I won’t be able to go to the funeral because of the travel distance, but I definitely wanted to send her a card. This week’s color combination challenge CC155 on Splitcoaststampers to use white, black and river rock was perfect. These colors are very crisp, yet subtle and very elegant looking together.
I chose to use Garden Silhouettes and one of the sentiments from Small Sayings, both from Stampin’ Up! I stamped the branch in Versamark and embossed it with black EP. I then sponged over it with River Rock ink. I added a black circle, 2 flowers with jewel brads, and a ribbon with a decorative pin. Simple, flat enough to mail, yet pretty enough to let her know how much I care.
Thanks for visiting.

Beautiful Broni!!
Lovely card! I am crazy about that image… but didn’t get it while I could… love the flowers… TFS!
Very elegant, no doubt she will appreciate your work and thought put into it. That’s a great color combo.
This is so beautiful!! I love the colors, layout, and everything you’ve done here! Miss you too! Hugs!!
This is very elegant and beautiful. I too have to do a couple of sympathy cards and will certainly use this Broni.
We are at an age, I guess, that our parent’s friends are now dying.
Thank you for sharing.
Oh wow! This is gorgeous! I *love* those colors and your shading around the flowers!
So elegant and beautiful. I love the colour combination that you have used. Very striking.
