One thing that I have just noticed , as I uploaded this card, is that it is neater to scan the cards as you don't have to worry about the surroundings .
Never mind, I will be more careful next time . If I get the chance I will edit the photo later.
I have to create a few more Sympathy cards as my supply has been depleted , sad to say.
This one has very simple , clean lines and has only two colours .
I started with Whisper White, SU, for card base.
Using Bashful Blue , SU, card stock I made a mat just a little smaller than card front .
I then I used my Big Shot to emboss some more Whisper White card . Now because the embossed piece was a bit too short , I cut it about 3cm's from the bottom and after trimming sides , I layered it onto Bashful Blue piece leaving a small border and a gap between the two white embossed pieces. Next I placed a ribbon, SU, around and over the gap, securing at the back. I made a separate bow and used Mini dots , SU, to secure it . The sentiment, in Baja Breeze ink, SU, is from SU set, Close As A Memory.
What do you think , is it suitably sombre for a sympathy card?
PS...just edited photo .
