Another sympathy card; the third I've needed in just over a month. Not fun, but necessary.
This paper pack was already on my desk. It's an interesting pack, most of the patterns/colors are rather tropical and flowery, but there are a couple of these blue patterns. I felt they were more subtle and soft and more fitting for a sympathy card. I pulled out my favorite flower layering stamp set and some pretty ribbon to finish it off.
Supplies:
Stamps: PaperTrey Ink "The Sweet Life" roses and leaves; Verve "Borderlines" sentiment
Dies: PaperTrey Ink "The Sweet Life" roses and leaves; unbranded stitched label die from Amazon

This is a lovely card Heather. I'm so sorry that you needed to make three sympathy cards recently. You've done a good job with the sympathy part though. I think those are the hardest to make. I love all the layers and the ribbon. I agree with you, the blue flowers are just right. Not too happy, but not too sad. Hugs to you for all you've dealt with recently. And thanks so much for taking the time to play along with us at Word Art Wednesday. We really enjoy your creations.
Always difficult ones to create but this is lovely with the blue blooms and coordinating DP's, many thanks for sharing with us at We Love Stamping June challenge.
