Has be a sympathy card. This is for an online friend who's husband passed away last week. I wish I could give it to her in person with a hug, but the thought will have to do.
I love Stampin' Up's sympathy set Close As a Memory, but I couldn't come up with a design for it today. So, I went looking at sketch challenges on Splitcoast Stampers. This is a takeoff on SC187, which uses an image mounted on three panels. I found a piece of retired LeJardin Designer Paper that I thought was perfect, it has birds flying upwards with swirls on a light floral background. Unfortunately, the image from Close As a Memory was too big to show the birds with the sketch layout. So, I stamped and embossed it on vellum the size of the triple panel and attached it with brads. The birds don't show unless you hold the card directly under light, but I do like the effect of the vellum on designer paper. Ingredients: River Rock and Soft Sky cardstock, Versamark, River Rock and Basic Grey ink, vellum, clear embossing powder, small flower brads (not Stampin' Up).
