The challenge at The Male Room this week is "remembrance or sympathy". Sympathy cards, wow they are difficult in the best of times, but when you need it for a guy, well you have just ratcheted up the degree of difficulty. I wanted to avoid flowers so I went rummaging through my stamps and came across this old HA stamp. Some how I even have two!
I stamped it in a dark blue ink and white embossed the sentiment. What is hard to see in the photo is that I punched out many small holes to create a star field and layered glitter paper behind it, to give it a shimmer and depth to the night sky.
With the dark blue ink against the white cardstock, this card just feels peaceful and soothing to the spirit.
I hope you will join us at the Male Room this week.

What a fantastic card!
This is one fantastic card! The scene is so beautiful and the sentiment quote is really moving.
Absolutely gorgeous! A perfect male sympathy card, love it.
Absolutely beautiful. I love the restful scene and the sentiment is just perfect. I do like the detail with the stitched rectangles too. Great work. xx
I can see the punched out dots and this is such a creative idea. I do so love the colours, the white against the blue and what a breath taking sentiment. For such an 'awkward' subject the card is perfect and so very beautiful x
This is beautiful and I'm sure that your friend will appreciate this card at this sad time. The attention to detail is amazing, the stars and the paper piercing...gorgeous and masculine!
