With Deepest Sympathy

Hello my friends! Hope you all are having a wonderful day! It's been a while since I last made a sympathy card, but I do have a simple one to share with you today... Using the Giga Guidelines 1 Impression Plate, I was able to add a subtle but very elegant textured pattern to the white cardstock block. This helped to break up the stark whiteness of the card and to let the sentiment circle really stand out.
The sentiment circle was stamped using a sentiment and border image from Asian Fusion, using Dark Chocolate and Melon Berry inks. Layered it over a strip of Melon Berry Twill and embellished the border with brown rhinestones.
If you don't have the need for a sympathy card, simply changing the sentiment and this card would work perfectly as a wedding card.

So glad you stopped by today!
