It is never easy to make a sympathy card but I like to have some on hand.
Today's challenge at Splitcoast, Emboss it 2 Ways; use heat and dry embossing. On the main panel, I stamped the grasses from Memory Box and embossed them using clear eb powder. I then rubbed Distress inks over the image to represent a sunrise and splattered some water to look like dew.
For the back panel of my card, I did some random embossing by placing my cardstock into an embossing folder and hit it with a rubber mallet. I mounted the grasses onto white cardstock then mounted that with pop dots over the back panel.
Adding my card to these challenges;
CAS on Sunday- EMBOSS IT

ReplyDeleteOh, Karen, yes, sympathy cards are so hard to make, especially when you need them. It's better to have some on hand and ready to send. I totally LOVE this one. Just love the double embossing and amazingly rich colors for the sunrise in the grasses! Gorgeous, sweet friend! You never disappoint! Hugs, my friend!
