It's not everyday that I'm asked to make a "We're sorry" card. That's right, not an "I'm sorry", but we're sorry. Makes me wonder if "Group Apology" should be a section in the card aisle at Target or CVS. Anyhoo, I didn't ask any questions (though I was really curious), and I came up with this.
Since I wasn't really sure about the nature of the apology, I made another card. My friend who made the request for the card noted that it could be lighthearted. She even suggested that I use remorseful looking elephants. But, all the elephants I had in my stamp collection were so darn happy. I then remembered the fabulous card made by Donna Mikasa of 3 Umbrellas (seen here), and turned the single bird into two apologetic birds. If you look close enough, you can see that I put glossy accents on the lower half of their eyes. They look like they're on the verge of tears! I would accept their apology.
This card (first one) will be submitted to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, where we were asked to use a rubber or clear stamp.
I'm going to spend some time shopping around this Group Apology idea. Maybe it's more common that I thought. Hoping that all is well and all is resolved!

Inks: Memento Luxe (grey flannel); Memento (tuxedo black); Copic markers
