Sympathy card from a card kit - TH wildflower die cuts from Hammered botanicals paper, a bit of lace and a layered greeting
We have a service to go to this week and I have prepared the sympathy cards I need from card kits from my last class. I used the Tim Holtz's wildflower dies to cut the flowers on this card from paper produced when I had a go at Hammered Botanicals. Where the colour was not perfect I simply used watercolour to augment them until they all looked very much like wildflowers. I added a length of lace to the diamond background paper adhering the ends to the back with double sided tape before adhering this large element to a green card front. I tied white thread to the lace using a double knot to add some interest and texture. I used a fine tipped applicator to apply white glue to the back side of the flowers, tucked them under the lace and held them in place for a bit. I punched the laser printed little font greeting with the Word Window punch (SU) and then layered it onto a coordinating Modern Label punchie (SU) before mounting it to my card front just below the lace and to the right of the flower stems using 3D foam tape. I love this colour combination and it makes a wonderful sympathy card. Therese
