Sympathy - With Caring Thoughts

Hello friends, thanks so much for stopping by.  I have had to create not one but two Sympathy cards this weekend - they are never easy to make but even harder when it is a loss felt at some level by your family.  For this card I have used the Spellbinders Moroccan View Cut and Emboss Folder.


Cut/emboss the Flower Garden Cut and Emboss Folder using white card stock and the Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine - 6".   The card front has been adhered onto slightly larger gold card stock and popped up onto a slightly larger pre-cut white card base using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares.


The sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Vintage Elegance Becca Feeken Giving Occasions Stamp and Die Set has been stamped using Imagine VersaMark ink and Gold Embossing Powder- this has been heat set using a Heat Tool.


Cut/emboss the sentiment using the insert tag from the Amazing Paper Grace Vintage Elegance Becca Feeken Beautiful Dreamer Stamp and Die Set.  Next it has been popped up the centre of the across of the embossed card front using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam Squares.


 Little Birdie Crafts Beaded Blooms in Artic Ice have been glued either side of the sentiment - along with Beaded Micro Petals also in Artic Ice.  Want2Scrap Swirls Finesse - White Pearls - Self Adhesive have been trimmed and adhered to each grouping of flowers.  The burlap butterfly is from the Little Birdie Crafts.
