Here is my contribution:
I had to make 2 sympathy cards. I find it hard to create those kinds of cards but with some new stamp sets I'm happy with the finished cards. I used Avonlea Paper which is back in the upcoming Spring/Summer Idea Book. I like the way the tulip looks like stained glass and I love the flowers stamp on the first card. I used a crimper for the first time - luv it!
