Yes, it was time for two sympathy cards this week. This is one I just made using my Distress Markers which eventually arrived yesterday after 2 months and 21 days!
My primary concern about the markers was whether I believed that they did ink up clear stamps! Phew! Am I glad to report, although this is the only card I have made with them, that they do!
Paper: cardstock (PTI; Penny Black); Neenah
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black; Distress Markers; Antique Linen Distress ink
Stamps: Hero Arts (CL342; CL428); PTI (Label Basics)
Other: Dimensional Foam
I know it's a rather plain looking card but I don't like to make a busy sympathy card, for me, it's all about the message.
I am going to add this to the current Simon Says Stamp Chalelnge "Anything Goes".
As I mentioned Lisa and I met Vera yesterday for lunch. We did take a couple of photos and we got a stranger to take one of the three of us together, but that was a complete failure! (Oh, and don't let the one of Vera and I scare you off, believe me, it scared me). Well, I cannot describe it....I have no idea where I was looking or what happened to my hair or why my face was all scrunched up like a dried grape! (I really do not like photos of myself!). Gosh, I hope I don't normally look like that!
Hugs to all! Have a fabulous weekend!

Beautiful sympathy card, Brenda! I think I will have to give in and get those markers!
Great photos of you and the gals! Not scary at all!!
Your card is perfect for a sympathy card, and I'm glad to hear that you're happy with your distress markers......I'll be using them in the same way when I finally decide to get some. I think all 3 of you look wonderful - isn't it fun to meet online friends?
PRETTY Brenda! Wow how soft and lovely this is. So glad to see the markers worked for you. I've tried my Tombow markers and it was no good LOL! Thanks for your congrats today. It's a brand new challenge I think it would be a perfect fit for you! HUGS :)
I think you all look wonderful, Brenda! So glad you shared the photos - love all the big smiles! Wonderful sympathy card too - so pretty!
How wonderful the three of you got to meet for lunch! One of the highlights for me last year was getting to meet some of the HA flickr gals at Scrapfest :) And I think the pics of the three of you are lovely (And NO - your face does NOT look like a squished up grape!) BTW, your sympathy card is just perfect and I'm glad to hear the distress markers were worth the wait!

Dear Brenda,

A lovely card, Brenda, and I agree, a symphathy card shouldn't be to bright or overly decorated. this is just perfect.

Hi, Brenda!
This sympathy card is beautiful! I love the color combination! Good to know the TH Markers work so well on clear stamps. I'll be looking into buying them now for sure.
OH, what lovely photos of you, Lisa, and Vera! I love the sweet smiles! (And you are hilarious with your descriptions. You crack me up!)
Hugs!
LOVE this sympathy card, Brenda! LOVE the organic feel to it and the colors!
Looks like a fun get-together, Brenda! Love this card - I agree, keep it simple. These are such tough cards to make. I am not ready to jump into more markers, but you make it very tempting with this gem of a card!
Wow, this is stunning, Brenda! You are making me want those markers even more. Those are cute photos of you and Lisa with Vera!
Fantastic photos - so cool that you all got to meet up. Thanks for sharing.
