Another Sympathy Card

I think I might have mentioned in an older post how much I dislike making sympathy cards.  Even though you want let someone know you care and that you are thinking of them..they are no fun to do. Because you know the reason is because someone is sad.  Hoping this will make them feel a bit better!

This is the card I needed to make this week:

For this card I used the 
Candlelight Garden CTMH December Stamp of the Month 
This set is a beautiful set that has some wonderful friendship sentiments and a Thank you sentiment as well.  Check out the link above to see all the images in this stamp set.

The "Sympathy" sentiment is from a brand new stamp set from a upcoming brand new CTMH expressions catalog coming out in January!  I am a consultant so I get a sneak peek!

I stamped the jar and the flowers with black ink on Watercolor Cardstock and colored the flowers with the beautiful CTMH Watercolor paints , There are 36 colors to choose from!

I then attached the image to Canary Cardstock.  I took the card base and embossed it using the Damask Embossing Folder and then I took a piece of Sweet Leaf Cardstock and stamped the sympathy sentiment and attached that strip to the card base, then I took  the flowers that are bordered with Canary cardstock and using  3-D Foam tape to attach to the sweet leaf cardstock and card base make them pop up a bit.  

I then raided my stash and found some discontinued pearl embellishments to add to the side and a tiny one in the middle of the large flower.  

Thanks for stopping by.  Hopefully my next card will be a happier card!
