Sympathy for a dear friend


I found out on Facebook that my BF from grade school - High school's brother passed away.
I wanted a simple slightly masculine but a touch of feminine card.
Found a few ideas online and this is the outcome.


The main thing I wanted to have was the cut background in cream on cream.
Gave the cards online a very elegant look.
So I found a background cut file I liked (and I already owned it)
Cut it out slowly on the silhouette and it cut beautifully - getting it off the mat was a challenge.
Added some simple flowers and pearls with a vine behind it.
Seemed the right balance and with it all in cream gave me the feel I was looking for.

You Tube Video: Cards: Daisy in Old Olive card  Flower in Melon Mambo card Poppies in Calypso Coral card Card details: Card base is from CTMH July Paper Pumpkin kit Inks - Artichoke, Rosy and Papaya Cuts: Card base from the kit cut in half then the floral front was cut to 3 3/4 X 4 3/4 the solid pattern was cut to 4 X 5 1/4 (cutting out 3 1/2 X 4 3/4 out of the center) Process: I added the corresponding ink to the card base to soften it and then I added the solid pattern and the floral pattern. I inked the edges of the floral and solid pieces from the kit then adhered them to the card base. I added strip pop tape to the frame and the flower piece then added it to the card. Finished with the included sequins. 12X12 Layout: Calypso Coral card 12X12 Layout bits: Kraft (2) 12X12, (2) 4 1/...
