This week I found myself in need of a sympathy card. It seems we can always use ideas for sympathy cards, so I thought I'd share my sample with you.
Materials: Vintage Vogue, Thoughts and Prayers and Very Vintage Wheel
Cardstock: Bordering Blue, Kraft Brown and Confetti White
Ink: Bordering Blue, Brocade Blue, Mellow Moss and Chocolate Chip
Accessories: Kraft brown taffeta ribbon, Neutrals brads, 1/16" circle punch, Stampin' Dimensionals
I wanted a simple, understated card in muted tones, and I was quite happy with how this came out. I used the rock and roll technique on the flower to give it two tone color. First I stamped it in Bordering Blue ink and then I rolled just the edges around on a Brocade Blue pad. A Chocolate Chip brad in the middle finishes it off nicely.
The vintage vogue set in the Occasions Mini lent itself nicely to the feeling of the card that I wanted to capture. It is a very versatile set that can be dressed up or down, turned casual or elegant and be used from weddings to birthdays. You definitely will want to add this one, as well as the matching wheel, to your collection. But, hurry, it is only available until April 30!
Happy Stamping!
Michelle
