Purple Sympathy
Today’s card was inspired by this one I found on Pinterest by Susan Edwards. I did change it up a bit, as you do! I began by stamping the front of scored and folded Highland Heather using the Birch Background and Highland Heather ink. I cut Whisper White and Purple Posy card using different sized dies from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I layered them together and attached them to the card front. I stamped the flower from the Gorgeous Posies stamp set onto Whisper White card twice using Highland Heather ink. I stamped the flower centre on top using Gorgeous Grape ink.
I stamped the solid leaf from the Gorgeous Posies stamp set twice onto Whisper White card using Soft Sea Foam ink and added the leaf stems using Pear Pizzazz ink. I cut out all of the images by hand! I attached one leaf behind one flower and attached it to the Purple Posy die cut. I attached the second set of leave to the second flower and then the card front using dimensionals. I added a large Basic Pearl to the centre of each flower.
I stamped “with deepest sympathy” from the Peaceful Moments stamp set onto Whisper White card using Highland Heather ink and cut it out using one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies. The greeting is attached to the card front using dimensionals. To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the flower from the Gorgeous Posies stamp set onto the lower left hand corner of Whisper White card using Highland Heather ink. I covered the stamped image with a post-it-note and stamped the leaves using Soft Sea Foam and Pear Pizzazz ink. I removed the post-it-note and stamped the flower centre using Gorgeous Grape ink. I love how this turned out, so soft and pretty, so once more thanks Susan for the inspiration.
Bye for now,
Kris
