Day 273 4 365 Cards, No Christmas cards this post... : )

Happy Thursday! I checked out 365 cards and the paper I wanted to use for this card was being used for the challenge. How lucky for me. Now maybe I can get back in the swing at 365...

I made these quick cards for a coworker who needed them for Sympathy Thank you's. The inside reads: It is difficult to express all that your kindness and thoughtfulness has meant. We greatly appreciated all that was done in our time of need.

I think I was inspired by some of the artists I saw at one of the card conventions I attended

(with my friend Karen), when I sat down and made these cards. I really like how they turned out. Maybe one day I will submit them.

Supplies: (Unfortunately some of my supplies were not labeled, I'm getting better about keeping on top of what I am using these days, but these cards were made months ago)

paper/DCWV notecards, The paper company cardstock and notecards, vintage paper is unknown (possibly DCWV), rubber stamps/ unknown- I ordered them from the internet and they are not stamped on the back.
