I needed a sympathy card to send to a friend, and this is what resulted. It was my first chance to ink up this Unity/Webster's Pages image. The beautiful patterned paper was part of the amazing goody package my friend Meg sent me, and I used a strip of the reverse side instead of ribbon. A little different from my usual standard sympathy card approach, and I quite like how it turned out. It's going in Simon Says Stamp's current Anything Goes challenge.

So simple and pretty. I LOVE LOVE LOVE bird cards.
So you'll either get this twice, or the original disappeared into the netherworld of the internet.
I recognized that card...thank you. I was wondering when it would show up here. ;)

Gorgeous card, Lindsey! I love the color combo, that strip of navy is the perfect grounding. Glad you are enjoying the paper!
LOVE the entire card, Lindsey!! The stamp is gorgeous; I haven't seen it, but probably because I tend to shy away from the "pretty" stamps. Seeing your card, I'm totally inspired!
