This will be a quick post to mirror the time it took to make the card .... well after I'd found the stamps and chose the ink colour that is :)
It's for OLW and this week we have to literally stamp a design .... quick layers of ink ...... no sponging , embellishing or masking
I decided to make it a sympathy card as they are the sort you often need to rustle up quickly in a 'no fuss' CAS style .
I'm ashamed to say I re-found these stamps in a folder I had forgotten about and dug out my old Hero Arts shadow inks for the background design ....... I'm surprised they are still inky after hanging around for 6yrs!
I'm actually pleased with it considering it was made in a flash, hope you like it too :)
I'm off to take the mutt to the vets now for his annual jabs , he literally changes before my eyes from a mini Tasmanian devil to a piece of jelly as we cross the threshold into the waiting room , lol :)
Thanks for your time and have a good day , remember to pop back tomorrow for a little giveaway X
The card has turned out very well, it is so difficult to make good sympathy cards! Valerie (NOT Sylvie!!)

I really like this card, Jenny. Isn't it wonderful to be able to whip up a card in only a few minutes (after you choose your tools, of course)? :-)
