I didn't start this card with the intention of making a sympathy card but you know there is nothing worse than being forced to make one on the spot when you are already sad! It is good to have one in your card stash. I used the
Get Sketchy #49 layout - I decided to use my Tim Holtz Tissue Tape for the bottom panel - first I swiped a bit of white pigment ink on my SU! Garden Green cardstock to temper the color down a bit.
Basic Grey Ribbon Doilies paper ribbon added a cool textural element to the bottom of the card - reminded me of a cast iron fence (the ribbon was actually a little bigger but I cut off the bottom section). The sentiment was stamped onto a Martha Stewart label.
The colors came direct from this week's
Play Date Cafe Challenge #40 - black/white/green. The stamped swirl is from SU! The sentiment is from
A Muse. Finished card size is unusual - 3 1/2" x 5 1/2".
If you look close at the Play Date Cafe Challenge you will see that I was named one of last week's - Cream in Our Coffee winners for
this card. WHOO HOO!

i, too, dislike making sympathy cards. loved that you toned down the garden green, you know of my "love" for that color!
I love your card, very elegant!
