What was I saying.........

Oh......yesterday I was saying how hard it was to make a sympathy card when in need of one.  After posting the last one I thought I really should do one more..........plus I wanted to use this Daisy stamp. I got the image DTP and was adding the soft colors, using my new Faber Castell pens and I noticed a finger print just above the "So".........gerrrrrrrrr!  Well, I just did a curvy cut and eliminated it, and added a parchment behind it.  This parchment is like a super heavy version of a vellum...just love this stuff.  I then added the same Light Ice Blue around the edge to tie it together. 

Back to the title of this post, as I was saying..............Just as I realized I had an unwanted finger print I received a text that a friend's brother had just died.  We have been friends for years and even co-workers for over 10 years.  Our boy's grew up together, and well this card just seemed to fit her better than the one I made yesterday.

 I had this stamp set (not the sentiment) from Stampendous before.......before???  Yes, this is my second one.......no I did not wear out the first one.....grin.   I accidently grabbed the wrong stamp cleaner.....the one that states "Do Not Use On Clear Acrylic Stamps" and just cleaned it up nicely.  Well, there is a reason that statement is on the bottle.........it clearly demolishes the stamp, I mean eats it up, melts it down (well not quite) but you get the picture.  It was a cleaner for red rubber stamps and to clean off StazOn ink, and at that strength I wouldn't even use it on a RR stamp.  I don't remember who made it or where I even found the stuff, and regardless of the price I threw it in the TRASH!!!

I am going to link this card to the same two challenges as yesterday, they are both about "New Schtuff".........the butterfly and the sentiment have never been used before.
