Since I am still short on sympathy cards I decided to make a CAS one and enter it into the Gina K. Designs February Release challenge. The deadline is midnight so I am getting it in under the wire so to speak. I used stamps from the Flowers & Frames TV Kit. That kit also had dies so I die cut the leaves and the rose for my focal image. And, I also used a Gina K. Designs Small Circle die too. All the card stock and inks used are also from Gina K. Designs.
I originally was going to use several rose blooms but I accidentally dropped the largest one on top of the leaves when they were just sitting there and I decided that was a very pretty arrangement already. So I went with it. That stamp set is a multi step one so I used three shades of inks from the purple family for the roses and two shades of green for the leaves.
Thanks for stopping in. I had no idea I would get two cards made today but that is fine. It is always nice to have a productive afternoon.
God bless,
Verna

Beautiful sympathy card, Verna, love the layout and the colours are beautiful. xx
This is a beautiful card!
Beautiful card and my favourite colours. Love your black and white in the post below.x[aNNie' blog]

This is so beautiful Verna! Love the way the circle pops from behind the beautiful blooms. Great coloring too.
Only needs a few words here Verna. Simply perfect Sympathy Card.
Absolutely gorgeous, Verna! Love your colour combo! It's good to have some sympathy cards made ahead of time - there so hard to make at the time when you need them.
I LOVE this card! First off I like purple shades, and second ...all the white...so gorgeous!
Love the fab image,this is gorgeous.xxx
This is stunning. A perfect use of that rose stamp set, and perfect colors. Great design too, PINNING!!!
What a happy accident dropping the flower on the leaves turned out to be. Beautiful design.
Purple & green is my favorite color scheme, and this is one stunning sympathy card! I love the design and simple choice of elements and colors!
Verna! this is just lovely! What a beautiful rose!! : )
STay warm!

That was a happy boo-boo, and I agree, the single rose is beautiful enough on its own. Looks lovely in the lavender colors, and perfect for a sympathy card (or any occasion!) I think it's going to be gorgeous in a bouquet too, so looking forward to seeing you use it again. Great work on the layering too. TFS
Beautiful sympathy card! Your camera captured that lilac color perfectly - my camera always turns this into blue...
Happy accidents often lead to the best cards Verna and I think this one is so pretty! I love the soothing colour and double stitched circle mat.
Wow Kara, tour colouring of the glass is awesome and I love the humour in this terrific card!
Hugs

A lovely design! Very pretty colors and the single flower works great.
Ohh, I love this! And purple is beautiful
Beautiful card -- so pretty with the layered flower
Good thing the rose stamp & die aren't available in a store here because I'd never be able to keep my no spending rule! This card is gorgeous!
Beautiful card, Verna. I find sympathy cards the hardest to make, so try to have them on hand for when they are needed.
Another stunning card Verna..beautiful Rose! I did a little "shopping' at Gina K myself...but was sidetracked with the laminator..oh boy, can't wait til it comes!!

This single rose with the matching card stock circle makes the most beautiful CAS sympathy card! I couldn't imagine it any prettier. You're giving me ideas as to how I might use a similar SU set. I love the look of this!
beautiful looking card for a sad time.
xx Karen
It's a perfect arrangement! I love the colors of the flower, quite stunning!
Gorgeous sympathy card Verna and lovely colors... Such a pretty layout as well
This is so beautiful! The purple is so striking and you did a fantastic job with the layering of that flower.. I've ended up in tears with layered flowers...lol... I don't cry too much in my craft room... lol... but I did get quite frustrated. I think the one rose is just right...
