Last night in Vancouver BC Canada a most terrible and senseless tragedy took the lives of 11 people and injured many more who were attending festivities during the Lapu-Lapu Filipino festival. A 30 year old Vancouver man plowed his car into these innocents, committing such a heinous act that words cannot even describe.
I'm using today's sketch to design a sympathy card for all those affected by last night's loss. Obviously I can't make or send a card to all the families, first responders and others affected by this tragedy, but hopefully by posting my card and my message of condolence I can express my sadness, grief and offer my prayers for healing to those who need it.
Here's My Card:
Supplies:
- Textured Notes #165548 - basket bottom and leaves
- Country Flowers #163405 - sentiment "With heartfelt sympathy"
- In the Moment #157987 - sentiment "You're In My Thoughts"
Cardstock and DSP:
- Basic Beige 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" for card base
- scraps for sentiment on card front, basket and leaves
- Early Espresso 3 1/4" x 5 1/4" front panel
- 1" x 5 1/4" strip for bottom inside detail
- Pecan Pie 4" x 5 1/4" for front matte
- DSP - Woven Textures 12 x 12 #165560
- Cut 3" x 5" strip of DSP cut this piece in half at 2 1/2" flip one side over and adhere to early espresso panel.
- 3/4" x 5" strip of DSP cut in half, flip one side over adhere two panels to 1" x 5 1/4" early espresso panel on inside bottom of card.
Ink and Blends:
- Tuxedo Momento Black
- Pecan Pie
Accessories:
- 2" circle punch for basket
- Dimensionals
- Adhesive
- Gold Sparkle Gems (R)
The detail in the Textured Notes distinktive stamps is amazingly crisp. The trick to stamping with distinktives is to not over saturate the surface with ink. You'll get a clearer image by reinking and stamping a few times.
Well that's it for today's card. Thank you for stopping by and having a look at my card. Appreciate it.
HAPPY STAMPING!

What a lovely card for such a devastating occasion. I do love the neutral colours. Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
Thanks, Penny, for your compassion. I am also thinking about this horrifying incident that happened in my city.
Yes Jen. Vancouverites and the Filipino community are still reeling from this act of violence. I'm a fan of neutrals and monochromatic colour schemes, so I really like that about this Stampin' Up! bundle.
Thanks Sharon. It's been a sad week indeed. I would have liked to have gone to the service on the weekend however, didn't have transportation so just watched on television. Such a sad time for so many people. But, it's nice to see generosity and the good in people in the aftermath. Hugs.
