Sympathy Card with Hero Arts

These are never easy to make cards, but I know the recipient will appreciate the sentiment.

I stamped the "Leafy Vines" from Hero Arts with Versafine and then the sentiment from "Fresh Freesia" by Altenew.  Next, I added some Hero Arts pearls and matted the card front with some matching purple paper.

Sympathy Card with WPlus9 - 2018

I love the "Christmas Rose Bouquet" stamp set by WPlus9!
I've seen so many folks use it for occasions other than Christmas.  Here I used it for a sympathy card:

I heat embossed it in silver on watercolor paper then painted the flowers.  I covered up the flowers with a mask then added some splatter.  Finally I die cut the "hugs" die from the March 2018 Hero Arts My Monthly Hero kit.

Sympathy Card with My Favorite Things - 2017

This was a card that I made for a friend who lost her sister to cancer.

I used "Peaceful Wildflowers" by My Favorite Things stamped in VersaFine on a ink smooshed background that I made with a few Tombow Dual Brush Pens and water.  The sentiment is from the set "Sharon's Script" by Brutus Monroe.

Sympathy Card with Altenew - 2017

This was created using the "Fresh Freesia" by Altenew.  I white heat embossed it, then colored it with my Tombow Dual Brush Pens.  I used the matching die and them glued it to a background that I watercolored with Distress Ink that I cut using one of the In & Out Stitched Rectangles from MFT.

The sentiment is a blend of "Hello World" from Catherine Pooler Designs and "Brushwork Alphabet" from Stampin' Up.  I added a few sequins from Pretty Pink Posh to finish it off.

Sympathy Card with Avery Elle - 2017

I used the Avery Elle "Floral Bouquet" to create this sympathy card.

This is a one layer card where I embossed the image in white embossing powder and the colored it up with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers.  One complete it felt like it needed a little something extra.  So I used a small butterfly from Newton's Nook "Beautiful Wings and popped it on the card with a foam dot.
