Hello bloggers! I started by cutting a mask using the
Clipped Corner Rectangles. I taped the leftover card after cutting the die to a piece of coconut white card. I used
Distress Inks (Shaded Lilac, Worn Lipstick and Fossilized Amber) and inked it across the opening in sections. I removed the stencil and then embossed it with the
Fanciful Flowers embossing folder. Next I cut the Sympathy word die out of black card. I glued it to the bottom portion of the card, then stamped the rest of the sentiment using the stamps from the set. I cut it out and added it above the word with mounting foam. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x
Beautiful card Sue xx

I love the design but I have to say that for me the colours are too “cheerful” for a sympathy card - sorry
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteA lovely card but I feel it's a bit bright for a sympathy card, sorry but it's only my thoughts. Yvonne xx
Lovely card for a difficult situation.

Good Morning Sue. Always a difficult card to make.And that's why I always save your sympathy cards. I know they are in a folder so I can choose which one to make as and when I need them.
ReplyDeleteThis one ... Like all your cards ... Is a beautiful sample and just says what you feel. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.
PLEASE KEEP STAYING SAFE.
Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.
Good morning Sue this is a gorgeous Sympathy card. I love it. Take care. Hugs Jackie
ReplyDeleteHi Sue and everyone a beautiful card today, one of those we always struggle to make. The blended colours are lovely and the embossing folder is beautiful. A simple yet elegant card. I love how you used the clipped rectangle to make the ink blended piece look unique.

Lovely card but I think I would use a more pastel colour for the word ‘sympathy’.

Hi Sue, a beautiful card. I find it quite difficult not to 'bleed' under the edges of a mask so really appreciate your lovely straight lines with the colours. The EF is lovely and I do like the colours, the recipient is already feeling sad so why not try to brighten things a little.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteA really pretty card for a sad occasion. Love how you have used your die cut as a stencil. Great colours and like the embossing folder used too.
Love Helen xxx
ReplyDeleteNot easy cards to make, like some of the others,
I think the colours are a bit too bright, and the
black ink too harsh. Love the iseda though.
Stay safe,

A lovely sympathy card that would be easy to make in multiples. I never want to have to make one, but seems like the older I get, the more often I need to send them out.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful design and colors that can be used for different occasions. Love the Fanciful Flowers embossing folder.
ReplyDeleteHugs from Toronto to you all.
Stay safe and healthy.
