Add Some Metal

Cardz 4 Guyz // #C4G280 ...A male challenge with a bit of metal!!  Today begins a new challenge over at Cardz 4 Guyz!!  We would love to see your take on our "add some metal" challenge!!  

For me I added a metal buckle and a metal arrow.  This card was made for a guy at our church that just lost his brother-in-law to Covid.  Such sad times with so much loss.

Try Stampin On Tuesday // #TSOT524 ...A sketch challenge!!  All the layers in this sketch made for a busy card but this card represents the chaos that comes in times of grief!!

Sentiment as Focus

Papercraft Challenges // #74 ...A sentiment focus challenge!!  Pull out those large sentiments!!  It took some snipping and adjusting to get this large sentiment to fit on my card...sympathy is a long word for a vertical card.
