Blackberry Beauty Sympathy Card

For my November tutorial I created a slimline card using a template from Jessica Taylor's One Sheet Wonder Club (if you are a member of my team you get to join her club free of charge!).  Unfortunately I needed a sympathy card so I made this one.  Of course you can change the sentiment to anything that you need.

I forgot to take a photo of the inside but it included a sympathy sentiment with stamped leaves.

Here are all the details:

  3. Die cut the very vanilla stitched rectangle. Stamp the sentiment on the piece with Rich Razzleberry ink.
  4. Attach the sentiment rectangle to the piece of gold foil and glue to the card front.
  5. Take the gold flower from the ephemera pack (or your own leaf die made from gold foil) and carefully glue down to the card front.
  6. On the inside of the card stamp, “with deepest sympathy” from Peaceful Moments and a leaf from Lovely You, using Rich Razzleberry ink.
  7. Decorate a #9 envelope with the same leaf

It's sad when you need a sympathy card but it's nice to have some made in advance so you can just grab one that's appropriate to send.
