A friend was over a few weeks ago and bought several of my cards. So, now I need to replenish my sympathy cards. The patterned paper on both of these cards came from a very small pack of 4 x 4 inch papers I got from a stamping friend in Des Moines a few years ago. I used oval Nestabilities on each of the cards. The matting on this first oval is mirror gold. I popped up the sentiment panel on foam squares. I also added gold mirror cardstock strips on each side of the patterned papers. The sentiment on both cards is from Hero Arts. I used gold embossing powder on this first one.
I placed the strips for this one on black cardstock. The sentiment is embossed with black powder. The flowers are ancients ones from Prima, and I added some small, reddish brads.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!
Beautiful card! The papers are so rich and elegant looking! Thanks for sharing…love this!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful use of the paper, Lynette. Those brads sure are a perfect match!
ReplyDeleteLovely, elegant cards. I like these CAS layouts for sympathy cards. I need to make one or two for my own stash, so thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteBoth are very pretty, but I especially like the first one!
