I started with a light blue cardstock which coordinated with my image - a off cut from an invite I had in my stash bucket on my desk that I thought was perfect in colouring for this occasion. I stamped a circle background stamp all the way around the edges on the front using Versamark ink which was exactly what I was looking for in intensity. I added a large rectangle of darker blue which I embossed with a floral embossing folder (Darice) and then I added a length of coordinating green ribbon across it and glued both ends to the inside of the card. The ribbon slides into a slit on the spine of the card which I cut with my slot punch (SU) - works perfectly every time. I adhered my image over the ribbon using 3D foam tape on the right hand side and double sided tape on the left to accommodate the thickness of the embossed layer. I punched out a laser printed greeting, layered it onto a Modern Label punchie in a coordinating green and mounted it to the front of my card using double sided tape. Very happy with how it worked out and I hope it will be a comfort for those who are grieving.
