Simon Says Stamp 'Single Roses'

We have just returned home from a fabulous trip to Krakow, Poland, our daughter is living there for a year, our son and my parents joined us too and we had a lovely time. 

When I arrived home a fabulous parcel was waiting for me at the Post Office and inside it was a Simon Says Stamp Single Roses Die Set.


My aunt died a few days ago and I thought it would be perfect to make some sympathy cards for her children and their families. She was a lovely lady, well known for her delicious Christmas and Wedding cakes. She also loved her garden and until she became too frail she would tend the loveliest garden in the neighbourhood, Alan Tichmarch would have been proud ;-)


I actually made four, two of each color.


Thanks for looking. I hope you all have a fabulous weekend :-)

Happy Mail :-)


I can't wait to play with the rest of the goodies! :-D


Challenges:
Cute Card Thursday  No Patterned Papers
Cards Und More   Die Cuts
Shopping Our Stash   Think Ink but no colouring
Make My Monday   April Showers bring May Flowers





Hope you all have a great week :-)
Happy Crafting

I inked the background with Tumbled Glass and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Inks and then stitched a layer of vellum over the top to add more interest and to mute the colours. I paper pieced the whole image and added a step down from the stores ;-)


I am currently on my way to Poland for a week's vacation, so I will see you all when I get back ;-)
