Love & Sympathy.

Last week I needed to make a sympathy card so I decided to use the Love & Sympathy Stamp Set from the Stampin'Up annual Catalogue.  I used Whisper White and Marina Mist Card stock. The card was so beautiful I ended up making three of the same card so I could have some on hand ( I hope I don't have to use them too soon!)

To get the "water coloured" look on the flower, I uses the Stampin'Up! markers. Colour in the stamp and then spritzed it with a little water. I just loved the soft effect it gives. My beautiful friend Louise Sharp and my Up-Line Teneale Williams never make a card with creating an inside as well as a front for every card and I think this has rubbed off on me as I just can't give a card that's not finished off!

The Sentiment that I used and the little verse inside the card are all stamps included in this very versatile set. I even stamped an image of the flower on the envelope.

For the embossing folder to be longer I just embossed half of the card stock then lined it up to emboss the other half. I love to dye the white organza ribbon the colour of the card stock that I use. Hope you like this card as much as I do! 

Thanks for stopping bye.. xx
