Hello, everyone! I'm so saddened to say that I needed to create a sympathy card for a former co-worker and friend who very recently lost her beloved husband. I hope it lets her and her family know that they are in everyone's thoughts and prayers.
I think this is a very CAS card yet has a touch of elegance. It is a one layer card with both the base and single layer being white.
For the one single layer I first computer generated my sentiment. Next, I stamped my image (GKD Elegant Florals) in Versamark and embossed it with clear EP. Then I used Spellbinders Elegant Ovals to emboss around my image and sentiment. Before removing the die, I applied the "Emboss Resist" technique using Memento Desert Sand ink. (For those who aren't familiar with this technique, click on this link for a video tutorial at Stamp TV).
When this layer was completed, I adhered it to my base card and added 3 small pearls in the upper left corner just to add that final touch.
Thank you for stopping by and have a great and creative day!
