More Sympathy Cards

Here are two more sympathy cards, yeah I know I've been doing a lot of them lately. Well these two are part of an order I have for Sympathy and Get Well cards, I'm to do 3 of each for men and 3 of each for women. So this is two of the ones I've done for a man sympathy.
The first one is the faux wood technique for the frame and behind the tree. It's very simple to do, go check it out over at split coast stampers. The tree was stamped using Old Olive originally and then I used Chalk to add the color then used a matte finish fixative to finish it off. I also used a piece of the wood for the background of the sentiment as well.
Before I did the first card, I had actually been playing around with the lovely as a tree set and came up with the picture on the second card first. Well I just cut it out mounted it on Green and then put corners on with the copper snaps. I then mounted it on Night of Navy and to match the copper of the snaps I used versamark on the sentiment then heat embossed in copper.
Both these cards also qualify for the Pile it on Challenge
Thanks for Looking.

Close as a Memory

These are two sympathy cards I've made for a resident to give to a couple of other residents in the condo where I work, They both lost their husbands this past week. It's hard sometimes working at a place for so long and you get to know some of the residents. I will miss one of the gentlemen especially, as he was a warm hearted gentleman and always had a smile on his face and a friendly hello. He was taken way to young, only 69 years old, but had some health issues, such as lupus, which attacks all the organs eventually. Anyway I hope that these cards will give the two ladies a bit of comfort during this time.
The first card was done with the thoughts and prayers set on a shaving cream background, which I had left over from a class I had taught a while ago. The second card is the close as a memory set. Thanks for looking.
