With Sympathy

I needed to make a card for a fellow team member who recently suffered the loss of her brother. I had seen a card made using the Painted Poppies stamp set and the Spotlight technique. This is a kind of subtle technique and perfect for this type of card. I stamped the greeting from the Flourishing Phrases stamp set onto the lower right hand corner of Whisper White card using Highland Heather ink. I stamped the poppy image from the Painted Poppies stamp set across a narrower panel of Whisper White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I attached the stamped card to Highland Heather card. I coloured a length of Whisper White Crinkled Ribbon using the Light Highland Heather Stampin’ Blend, tied a knot in the end and wrapped the bottom of the stamped images. I cut three of the border pieces from Highland Heather card using the Painted Labels Dies. I attached the dies across the bottom of the stamped panel before attaching to the stamped Whisper White card. The whole panel is attached to scored and folded Highland Heather card. I stamped the poppy image once more onto scrap Whisper White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured the flowers using the light Highland Heather Stampin’ Blend.
I cut out the flowers using one of the Layering Circles Dies and attached it to a 1-1/2″ Circle punched from Highland Heather card. The coloured image is attached over the stamped poppy image.
To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the poppy image across the bottom of Whisper White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
Simple but pretty and a fitting card for the occasion, don’t you agree?
Bye for now,
