Sympathy Card 1

I had to make three more Sympathy Cards this past week.

I raided my scraps to come up with these fairly flat, simple enough cards to mail. I didn't want anything that had to be taken to the Post Office to be checked for extra postage since I wasn't going into town anytime soon. I make as few trips as possible, always have, but with gas so high it is even more important to not drive in for one little errand. My gas hog SUV only gets 13 miles to the gallon - so it is nearly a gallon of gas each way just to get to town then back ! That's currently about $8 each time I drive to in....... I know, quit my complaining, it could be so much worse !

This particular card (the finished size is 5" x 7" ) uses the first attempt at stamping and coloring on fabric with regular markers that I tried a few years ago. That finished card can be seen here.
