Sympathy Card


I guess I have to improve my photography skills! I made this card a month ago, not knowing what I would use it for, but needed one for a funeral and thought this would work well. I wanted to try a card using Flower Soft. I stamped the branch (Stampendous) using a brown ink onto white cardstock, then colored the leaves with a pearalescent green ink. The Flower Soft was very easy to put on the branch and added depth to the card; I just put dollops of glue in various places and pressed the Flower Soft onto the glue. I don't know what company made the wind chimes, but I think they added a very peaceful feeling to the card. I used a gray marker to color them in. I stamped the words and swirls (Stampendous) with Stampin Up Artichoke, but thought the card needed more. I stamped the butterflies onto the white card using the Artichoke, then stamped them again on decorative paper, cut them out, and glued them over the stamped images. Hope you like it! I'll be spending the week in the far north (no internet connection!) camping, kayaking, and hiking. I'll post some photos when I get back.

  1. Loved the card, the windchimes add a very soft effect. I like using flowersoft, what kind of glue did you use with it? Can't wait to see the trip pictures!
