With Sympathy

This is a card I made for a close friend who lost someone in her family this past week.  I hope she likes it and that it shows I care.  If of all I embossed the designer paper which was the background mat.  I highlighted it with cranberry ink.  Next I wrapped the mat with a piece of lace which was punched from white cardstock.

I then stamped my sentiment which is by Stampin' Up and then cut it out with a Spellbinders die.  I cut a second mat using the same die, but a little larger.  Finally I layered flowers on top of each other giving the flower spray dimension.  There are approximately 3 layers for each flower.   Finally a little bow was added to the flower stem.   The second picture was a little difficult to take to show the layers.  I found it hard to click the camera with one hand and hold the card with the other without moving.  It is like patting your head and rubbing your stomach at the same time.

I hope she likes it.

I am also submitting this card to Let's Ink It  Up who is having a Design Call.
