Simply Stunning Sympathy Card

Today I am going to show you how I made a simply stunning Sympathy card.

Today I am presenting a sympathy card that I designed for a Demonstrator Day in Lincoln. The remit I was given was to use these products only:

• the Prairie Grass stamp set
• the following Two-Tone Card stock – Highland Heather, Lemon Lolly, Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow
• the following inks – Highland Heather, Lemon Lolly, Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow, Smokey Slate and Black Memento
• the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch and Rhinstone Basic Jewels

How I made my simply stunning Sympathy card.

First I cut a portrait card base using Basic White card stock. I then cut a mat layer using the Mossy Meadow Two-Tone Card stock and stuck it onto the card front.

I then cut another mat layer using Basic White card stock to be my base layer for sticking the strips down. Next I cut 2cm wide strips of Highland Heather card stock and Lost Lagoon Two-Tone card stock. I then cut each strip into 9.5cm lengths and added them to the Basic White mat layer making sure that I alternated each side of the Two-Tone card stock.

Next I stamped the large grass image onto the card front before adding it to the card base.

How I finished off my simply stunning Sympathy card

For my sentiment I punched out a circle using Mossy Meadow Two-Tone card stock and stamped the sentiment ‘Sending THE Healing Power OF Love’ onto the circle using Black Memento ink. (If you want to save your card stock you can punch out the circle in the Mossy Meadow Two-Tone mat layer before adding the mat layer to the card base).

I then added the sentiment to the top of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and added three Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the bottom right-hand corner and another two on the sentiment circle.

I do hope that you have enjoyed seeing my simply stunning Sympathy card. I am off to try it with a different coloured Two-Tone card stock mat layer. Why not have a go at making a card like this and please do share it onto my Facebook Page.
