In my cardmaking session of all occasion cards I made this sympathy card as well. I added the font greeting to the crocus image before printing, trimmed it out and then watercoloured it to coordinate with my background paper. I trimmed my floral background paper and mounted it to a dark yellow handmade paper and then added a dark yellow piece of ribbon. I mounted my background to a purple card. To finish off my card I added my crocus image to my card front using 3D foam tape. Therese

Christmas card featuring a paper pieced background, an embellished strip of snowflakes and a small font greeting
While I was prepping my Christmas card kits last week I played with these snowflake borders which I punched quite a while back when working on other Christmas cards. I backed the snowflake strip with thin foil (chocolate bar) and burnished it which allowed it to fill the openings on the front. Very cool look!! I mounted this focal element to a paper pieced background which I created with scraps from my Christmas paper stash!! I mounted this large element to the front of a red card and finished it off with a small font greeting punchie (SU - Word Window). Another for my stash!! Therese
