There's been some layoffs at the office lately and colleagues have requested cards for the people who were leaving us. Needless to say, those cards, just like sympathy cards, are hard to create because they are not cheerful and inspiring events to stamp for. To help with my crafter's block, I went over to Pinterest and perused my galleries. I ended up finding a card from Erica Cerwin that was the right mix of masculine and understated. It is pretty much CASEd as is, except that I changed the sentiment, added Gorgeous Grunge elements in the background and used a different border for a more masculine look. And I added pearls on the stars.
