Stampin' Up Thoughts and Prayers Sympathy Card

 

Hi everyone,

Today I am sharing a Sympathy Card that I made for a lady whose husband recently passed away:

The floral branch is from a retired Stampin' Up set called 'Thoughts and Prayers' and the sentiment is from a retired Stampin' Up set called 'Love and Sympathy'.  I stamped them using Versafine Onyx Black ink using a Stamp Positioning Tool.

I added two score lines above and below the images using a Martha Stewart Mini Scoring Board then dry-embossed the panel using my Big Shot and very well loved (and used) Cuttlebug Textile embossing folder. 

I corner-punched the right-hand corners of this panel using a 3/8" We R Memory Keepers Corner Punch then layered the panel onto a white card base with an 1/8" border.  I corner punched the right-hand corner of the card base using a 1/2" We R Memory Keepers Corner Punch.  Note that the main panel has been popped up a little using scraps of white cardstock.

As finishing touches, I added a 3/8" or 10mm wide White Organza Ribbon Bow which I made with my Bow Easy & glued on using Helmars Fabric Glue - and added a very small Kaisercraft Black Pearl next to the sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by!

Jocelyn
