I decided to use vellum on a sympathy card. We all know sympathy cards can be very hard to make for a multitude of reasons. I usually make them on an as needed basis. However, I finally decided to make a few in advance. This one was made using a die that I borrowed from a friend when we were crafting together.
The background is sponged with a stencil. Then I cut it using a rectangle die. I die cut that beautiful dove against the window. The hearts are dies also. I really like the soft look. Stamping on the vellum was not easy, but I like the look of it also.
Do you make sympathy cards for your stash or on an as needed basis?

Hey Sheila - good idea for a Sympathy card - makes it a little softer and more interesting than a one layer card I think! Always need to stock pile these!

Stunning card! Love that die and your design is gorgeous. Thanks for joining our "Anything Goes DRU" challenge at Dies R Us!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful with the added vellum
ReplyDeleteYou did fabulously on this design, and it is a perfect sympathy card as well. The vellum is so elegant with your purple die design, and it certainly makes the background stenciling look very lovely as well. I always say I'll make some of this type of card to be ahead of when I need them, and then I never seem to get round to it. So good for you on that as well! TFS & hope the weather is as nice in your area as our afternoon is. Hugs & have a great weekend.
