Unfortunately this past week I needed two sympathy cards.  I himmed and hawed a long time of what stamp sets to use and of course what to say but I finally decided to go with the hydrangea in the new "Because I Care" hostess stamp set and the medallion stamp from "Artistic Etchings".  For the medallion I used the baby wipe stamp pad techinque.  To do that I took a wipe and folded it in quarters.  Then I put drops of So Saffron, Old Olive, and Pink Pirouette ink on the baby wipe and used the wipe as my stamp pad.  For the hydrangea, I stamped it in Stazon and used my markers to color it in, then cut it out and used my 2 way glue pen to adhere it to the card front.  There are some subtle differences in the cards as well.  The ribbons are different shades of brown and on one card I used the new Smooch Illuminate top coat in the center of the flowers.
