I dislike making Sympathy cards when they're needed, I would rather keep one or two in my card box 'just in case'. For this card I used a lovely Uniko stamp I bought with a gift voucher I won in the Uniko 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway.
To make this card I used:
6" x 6" white matt card blank
Uniko 'So Much' and Clearly Besotted 'Mini Calligraphy' stamps
My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics' die
Versafine Olympia Green ink
Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder
Sakura Gelly Roll Clear Star pen
I used the largest die to emboss a circle in the centre of the card blank. I placed the card into my MISTI and laid the flowers and sentiment stamps inside the circle. These were stamped with green ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. I then used a Clear Star gel pen to colour the outlines of the flowers and leaves.

This is perfect for a sympathy card Kath, and love the look of the impressed circle die within which you have stamped and heat embossed the pretty flowers, and the Sakura pen work looks great. x
