Heartfelt Condolences

Hi there. I'm back with another card for you that features Avery Elle's Banner and Wreath stamp set. It's a sympathy card and the layout was inspired by this week's Freshly Made Sketch challenge.

To create this card, I first stamped out the images with my copic friendly Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then coloured it in with copic markers. I don't have the coordinating dies so I used my Scan n' Cut machine to do the work for me. 

Next, I die cut a panel from white cardstock using the largest stitched rectangle die from Simon Says Stamp. This will be my background panel. With painters tape, I masked off the sides leaving the center opened. I stamped the center using MFT's Diagonal Stripes background stamp and 3 different colour inks to create an ombre effect. Last thing to do on the panel was to die cut the 2 circles using a stitched circle die.

To assembe the card, I glued the flowers around the arc of the circle and used double sided foam tape for the banner to give it some more depth. Then, with more foam tape, I put it all over the back of the panel and adhere it to a lavender cardstock panel. For the final touch, I added wink of stella inside the circles for a little sparkle. 

That completes the card. I hope you enjoyed it.
