With Sympathy

Hello
Just popping in quickly to share this white on white card at can you handle the pressure where their twist is all white. I recently needed a sympathy card and saw this one on Pinterest that I really liked, so I searched through my stash for appropriate dies.


At first I tried to make it fir a metric A6 sized card, but it just wouldn't work, so I tried it on a 7x5 inch card and hey presto, much better. The embossing folder is an old one by Darice and the dies are a mixture including Concord & 9th and Positively Papercraft. The sentiment is actually a foil plate by Whimsy Stamps that I just pressed into the card. I used 4 strands of twine to create the bow and a score board to emboss the panel edges.


What do you think. Just for once, I am quite pleased.


Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.

The card is simple yet so elegant, and it doesn't always have to be dark colors for this indulgence.
