Sympathy - PTI

Hi Ladies, 

I have a Sympathy card to share with you tonight.  One of my co-workers had a death in the family last week.  :(

I made the card below for her.

 

I go this idea from Tami White - a Stampin Up demonstrator.  She is so talented!  I used Neenah paper and embossed the first layer that is on the plain base with a patterned Sizzix folder.  I then sponged it with Sahara Sand ink.  I then cut and masked the top layer with a Labels Eight Spellbinders die.  I used two stamps from PTI - Botanical Silhouettes and the sentiment is from Gracious Vases.  I used Pale Plum and Old Olive ink for the main image.  I shaded around the image with Sahara Sand.  I then cut the entire thing out with the Label Eight die that was one size bigger.

 

 

Have a good evning.

Botanical Silhouettes - Papertrey Ink

Happy Mothers Day to all you moms out there!  :)

I have the card I created for my mom to share with you today.  I used Botanical Silhouettes from Papertrey Ink.  My mom loves flowers.  :)

Okay, here is the run down:  I used Kraft cardstock as the base and Neenah for the main image.  The layered papers are from my stash.  I used Old Olive ink for the stems and Real Red, Cameo Coral, and Barley Bananna for the flowers.  I die cut a picket fence using a MFT die.  I used a butterfly from Petaloo and a button and some twine from my stash.  The final touch was some glitter to the centers of the flowers.  Can you see the dimension on this card?  Several things were popped uo like the flowers and the fence..


I am going to enter this card into the challenges below:
