Hi there! Thanks for dropping by my blog today.
I have a sympathy card to share with you. The focal panel was created entirely from snippets.
 |
| C6 sized card opening on right hand side. |
 |
| Die cut foliage snippets - stacked & glued together. |
MATERIALS:
- C6 card blank in landscape orientation, opening on the right hand side.
- Heffy Doodle Skinny Metric Rectangle Frame dies used to cut a white snippet to surround the patterned paper. (Heffy Doodle are no longer in business.)
- Purple patterned paper die cut with same Heffy Doodle die for perfect match.
- Sizzix "Hidden Leaves" dies used to cut foliage from white snippets (see photo). The leaves were glued together in a stack to create a sturdy topper for dimension.
- Sympathy sentiment was stamped with SU Rich Razzleberry dye ink and is part of a Clearly Besotted "Small Sentiments" stamp set.
I'm entering this card into the current ALLSORTS CHALLENGE #799 where the theme is Get Well or With Sympathy (or you can use the anything goes option).
At the time of posting this, there is still a week left to play in the current SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND CHALLENGE. So if you use some snippets on your card, please feel free to come and play on the swings with us.
I think a simple yet elegant design like this is just a perfect way to express sympathy in a card. Beautifully done!
