A dear friend of mine lost her brother recently, and I wasn't able to get together and share condolences in person, so I wanted to make a special card for her. These beautiful papers from Craft O'Clock were perfect with their soft colours and lovely flowers that I could fussy cut and pop up for dimension. I inked everything with olive green to add a bit of interest and contrast, and used dies from my stash for the cross, foliage, and sentiment. The sentiment originally had a box around it, but it looked to big and bulky on the card so I trimmed it off. I cut a little deeper between some of the flower petals so I could lift and curl them just a little for added dimension.
As you can see, I kept the design fairly simple, as the elements themselves had plenty of detail. Unfortunately I had already mailed it when I realized the photo was less than wonderful, so please forgive the uneven lighting and shadows. Wishing you a great day, and I hope any cards you make are for happier occasions...xx
