Deepest Sympathy

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing another sympathy card that I created recently with you. Last year when I pulled out my Betterpress supplies in readiness to make some Christmas cards, I discovered to card panels which had been either gold foiled or Betterpressed,  one was already coloured, the other diecut using a fancy rectangle die. Of course I pulled these both out and turned them both into sympathy cards which is what I need most to add to my stash of cards right now.

This card uses the Betterpress plate that came with the Betterpress System when I purchsed it some time ago. I had gold foiled it rather than put it through the Betterpress, which is one of the things I love about Betterpress plates ... you have option! It was already die cut using the largest die in Pinkfresh Studios Rounded & Braided Rectangles die set. After colouring the image, I layered it onto some gold cardstock, rounding two of the corners to match the white panel.

I created a 5 x 7 inch side folding card, and added a panel to the front which I embossed using Spellbinders Rosette Burst 3D Embossing Folder. I then added the floral panel to the card.

To finish off the card I added the sympathy senitment which is also gold foiled and is from Spellbinders Mini Everyday Messages Hot Glimmer Plate.

For the inside of the card, I added a panel the same as I used on the front of my card. I gold embossed a sentiment using Honey Bee Stamps Rainbow Bridge stamp set.
