So very beautiful in blues! We are loving this card duo by Esther using our NEW Fall 2022 Release sets. One is a sympathy card while the other could be used for any number of occasions or reasons. The simple color scheme is so very striking and both cards appear very textural without a lot of bulk. Super gorgeous!

This is such a stunning pair of cards – I am so loving all the blue with black and/or white!

The sympathy card works for either gender while the ‘my friend’ card takes on a more feminine feel with the beautiful lace border.

This lovely card uses Autumn Silhouettes by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

The cattail stems were over-stamped multiple times for this gorgeous look – lighter in the back and darker in the front.

Once stamped, the panel was embossed using the Woven folder by Tim Holtz.

Sympathy is cut using the Sympathy Word Die by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

Esther stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne and used Distress Ink for the background.

This card uses the Falling Leaves Border Strip by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

The border strip is stamped in blue to create a lovely background and stamped in white to create the foreground strip.

The sentiment is also from the Falling Leaves Border Strip by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.

The sentiment is cut using Tag Collection by Tim Holtz (Sizzix).

The leaves are cut using Skeleton Leaves by Tim Holtz (Sizzix). LOVE them in white!

The beautiful lace is our Venise Lace – .75″ Lucia in White.

You can find a variety of string here to use on tags – fun!!!

Thanks so very much, Esther, for this absolutely gorgeous pair of cards!
