We are still enjoying mild weather and sunny days, it's fantastic for this time of year. I worked in the gardens yesterday morning, it felt wonderful.
I created a few CAS style sympathy cards that unfortunately we needed recently.
I used solid shape stamps by Impression Obsession. I inked them up, spritzed water or used a stencil to create a pattern and then over stamped with flowers by Chocolate Baroque.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great week.

Very beautiful cards Shirley and always good to have some of this on stand by. I think the more simple the better and these look just right.
Pleased that you weather is being kind to you

Love the stamps and your creations with them ! Great that you have
nice weather - we have had the first wonderful day as well.. so good for heart and soul after this long time of coldness and greyness !
Three wonderful cards. Glad to hear Archie is well. Skipper sends purrs. She is well at the moment. :) All things are well with the family. :)
Beautiful cards Shirley which unfortunately are needed occasionally, and yours are elegant and with that touch of colour and the silhouette flowers perfectly fit the occasion. x
Hello Shirley, never the easiest cards to make, but you've hit it just right with these lovely understated card, really beautifully designed, Kate x
Lovely delicate patterning and the minimalist colour combination is just right for these cards.
Beautiful cards Shirley and they are perfect for those occasions when we need cards like these. Just about over the jet lag now, we had a great time in Whistler and then in Vancouver. It was very cold in Whistler (we're not used to it being that cold) but it had warmed up in Vancouver by the time we went there.

These are fabulous Shirley, the colours and images are so suited the occasion.xx♥[aNNie]
How clever to stamp a solid stamp and add those gorgeous CB stamps. I'm sorry you need sympathy cards. I just made a bunch because it seems like I'm needing them too. Have a great week.
These are really beautiful, Shirley--love the design!
All three look so serene and beautiful! The technique gives the same effect as if you had used a gelliplate and ink plus a stencil. Hope that you can enjoy more sunny days, seems we are in a gray-weather periode at the moment... Hugs, Gerrina
Beautiful cards Shirley, although it's for a sad occasion. Enjoy your lovely weather, we have wet and stormy weather here. Love, Enny

Your cards are really beautiful and calming.
Sorry you needed them dear Shirley.
We had one of the warmest February's ever.
The extra quilt keeps going on and off the bed.
It is nice to see some color return to the garden.

These are lovely, Shirley! I'm jealous! You've not only done what appears to be CAS, but they are so in depth, containing your incredible use of color, shape and dimension! Gorgeously done! hugs, de
Three fabulous simple cards Shirley, so glad to see you've been out in the garden too :D xx
I'm so sorry you needed the sympathy cards, they are not easy to make and always sad to use them :( xx
Sympathy cards are not the easiest to do but you have managed three really gorgeous ones Shirley.

These are truly stunning cards, Shirley, and will be received with the love that they were created in, I'm sure. xo
Perfect Sympathy cards Shirley!

I'm sorry you've had a need for sympathy cards, Shirley. That's one of the not-so-fun parts of getting older. Your beautiful CAS cards will bring their loved one lots of comfort. Enjoy the balmy weather, assuming it hasn't changed, which it prolly has!! Hugs, Darnell
The cards are beautiful but it's less fun to need these cards.
