CAS37 With Sympathy

Hello there! This weeks CAS Challenge is to create a Sympathy Card. Since this is a skinny card it works perfectly for the Caardvarks A Tall Order challenge too. Here is what I came up with... I've had this bloom assembled for a few weeks now, just sitting on my desk patiently waiting for me to use it. The bloom image is from PTI In Bloom stamp set. It was stamped onto Aqua Mist, Ocean Tides & Spring Moss cardstock in Versamark, then heat embossed with black embossing powder. Cut out and then layered together. The bottom of the card was samped with Background Basics: Text Style in black.
Thanks for your kind comments on my French Knot tutorial I posted yesterday, I am very glad that some of you found it helpful. Just remember if you ever give it a try leave me a link, I would love to see what you create!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Maile
