Poppy Stamps - Thinking of you

Sending caring thoughts your way
Poppystamps is our September sponsor, the challenge prize is $20 gift card to their store.
Here is the card I made -
I have used Poppystamps Grosgrain Ribbon and Grosgrain Bow dies and added across my card panel that has been ink blended with some Altenew Pink Pearl. I used some Fabriano white (it's more of an off white) card for the panel (160gms) and made my base from heavy (240gms) card. I then used Poppystamps Floral Cluster - cutting the branches and leaves die from green card which I ink blended with some Altenew Hunter Green to deepen the colour. There are some separate flower dies in the set so I took a piece of card that Grace had made when she came to visit a couple of weeks ago. She had used some Lindy's Gang sprays and some Distress Spritz. I layered the smaller flowers onto the bigger ones and added a little yellow gem centre. Sentiment from an older Hero Arts set - With Sympathy.
Do come and join our challenge with your Sympathy cards.

A Poppystamps Easel Card Made With Love
Arlene here, standing in for Linda as she needs to visit family, but she will be back soon.
The challenge is "Sympathy".
I love working with the Poppy Stamps and dies to make Easel cards. This die set is so versatile and could be used for all kinds of situations and events, just as I used it here for a Sympathy card.
I chose soft pink and maroon red card stock combination for my card. I surprised myself with how well this worked. I took a side view shot on my blog also.
My card is a fairly simple card (really, it is).

A With Sympathy Card and PoppyStamps
Hi! Sue here today with a card using products by our Sponsor this month, PoppyStamps. They generously will be giving our winner a $20 gift card. Thank you PoppyStamps.
I find making sympathy cards a bit challenging because of the intense feelings of grief associated with a loss. I hope that my sympathy cards bring the recipient some solace. As I age, sadly I find that I need more sympathy cards. Here's my card
For my card, I used PoppyStamps' Flower Field Corner craft die and a retired PoppyStamps' Peony Stems and Blossoms stamp set. For details on how I created my card, check out my foleysfriend blog.
Would love to see your SYMPATHY creations using die cut(s) in our gallery this month.
