Floral Sympathy

Welcome

I really like to have some sympathy cards on hand as I know most of you do as well.

When I looked at this Split Rose Flourish stencil from A Colorful Life Designs, I thought it would work well for this.

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I took the Split Rose stencil and laid it onto a piece of white cardstock on my Make Art Station.  I inked up the vines with some Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink, then I did some highlighting using Peeled Paint DOX ink.
• I removed the stencil and then placed it onto another piece of cardstock and inked up just the roses with some Picked Raspberry and then some Crackling Campfire DOX ink.  
• Next, I fussy cut the panel with the vines on it along the 'split' edge and then cut out the roses.  I splattered just the cut out roses with my white Posca pen and set aside.
• I cut a piece of white cardstock that was 3 3/4" x 5" and scored it along the right hand side.  I inked it up with more Peeled Paint DOX ink and splattered with more white.
• I glued that onto a heavy white card base for my A2 card.
• Time to assemble....  I pop dotted the vines over the scored front panel and then pop dotted the roses as well. 
• I stamped the sentiment strip with some Versamark and white heat embossed it.  I popped that over the background.

Here is the stencil I used:
