With Sympathy
I made this card last month at Langley Stamps Club. I like to make sympathy cards ahead as it is always so hard to do at the time they are needed.
This was a simple yet effective design. The image was stamped on a snippet of white card and then a coordinating embossing fold was carefully lined up over the image. The resulting embossed design highlights the image and raised it forward.
All it took to finish this card, was a sprinkling of random sized clear rhinestone jewels, placed in the center of each blossom. The sentiment was stamped on a wee snippet of left over white card and pop dotted forward.
That finished image topper was matted with a flat black cardstock and placed on a white 5 x 7 card.
I would like to make a few more of this card, and would use a variety of different colours for the stamped image and background mat. The sentiments could vary from Hello, Happy Birthday or just Thinking of you. This card is generic enough to be used for any occasion.
Simple but effective, methinks.
I am entering this card in the following challenge
1. Stamping Sensations - Flower Power
2. Allsorts - Wings

Hope you will take a moment to pop by their blogs. These ladies have some lovely cards for you to see!
My card is a fairly simple one. One that will definitely fit through the regular postage slot! The image is one that I have used before. I coloured up a bunch of them at the lake one summer. I think this is the last one of that bunch.
I used my Spellbinders Labels 2 to cut some snippets of green and white card stock, and once again cut apart one of my plaid prefolded 5 x7 cards to use for theDP. I love plaid paper and it is not often in the paper craft shops near me. I matted it with the last large snippet of Granny Apple green I wanted a bit of a contrast and thought this bold colour did just that!
The wee sentiment is from my Wellington Bear card kit.
The image has had a random coating of Diamond Stickles, just enough to give that Christmassy sparkle. I used Christmas Red Stickles on the holly berries...even added a few random Stickles berries to the image!
The prize this month is a choice of one of the following two dies.
1. The Grand Happy Christmas Die from Memory Box
or
2, The Vesha Ornament die from Memory Box
