With Sympathy

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
