At first glance you would pick this set for all the Sympathy cards you might need to make, but my first card was made to send love! A CAS style card using one of the images from the set along with two of the sentiment words. The ribbons are from AnnaBelle too...... The lime with a tuftan flower is a favourite of mine. I coloured six small ABS pearls with a Copic marker to match my card to complete this card.
I did make a Sympathy card for the second project today. Using another of the images I've stamped in Tuxedo Black but because I wanted a softer shade I stamped first onto a scrap of paper then onto the white card. A touch of colour on the petals to bring in the Mulberry paper edge of this card. A Spellbinder die was used to cut and emboss the label and some AnnaBelle Pearls added to finish off. The base card is a white hammered card and I've used a fancy border punch to cut the lace edge and added the stamped label with some foam dots.
