Hi everyone! I had the need to make a sympathy card today and I know most of you agree, they are the hardest to make. I chose my colors from Sunday stamps color challenge.
I used some Pearlescent embossing paste through the tiny hearts stencil by Simon Says Stamp to give some texture. The little red scallop border is one of the newest Border dies from Clearly Whimsy stamps. The big heart is from Simon Says Stamp called Sketch Heart. I was lucky enough to win this fun heart die.
Before you go I wanted to give you a sneak peek at the DT members cards for the challenge this week at StampNation! This week is a GORGEOUS inspiration photo!

ReplyDeleteKristie, I love this card. I would have never thought of making a sympathy card with red, but this perfect! Thanks for sharing with Sunday Stamps! XX
ReplyDeleteI got this heart die and just haven't been able to make anything I like with it. Now that I'm studying your card, I like it a lot with the inside in a contrasting color. Thanks for the inspiration!
