The new Sending Smiles Bundle is an awesome one that works fits many occasions. Today’s project is a Sending Sympathy and Love card.
This card is a variety of different products mixed together for an eclectic look. And a different look than I normally create.
Background
There are several different elements making up this different background look. The card base is one of the New In Colors named Orchid Oasis. This color has a really Fresh look to it. Playing off of the flower center brings the Mango Melody paper into the mix. Actually it is a “back” side of the Hues of Happiness paper. The variation of color fit perfectly with my theme.
And finally the lattice looking layer is from the Organic Beauty Dies. Only half of the die cut piece is used and it is cut an an angle. Most of the little filler shapes were left out. It seemed a few were all it needed.
Flower
Following along with the richness of the card base, I went with Sweet Sorbet for the flower itself. And the center is Mango Melody matching the background paper. The stem and leaves are stamped using Shaded Spruce Ink. Please do not think the unevenness of the right leaf is poor stamping. This look was actually done on purpose and looks much better in person. I accidentally “slid” the stamp on the ink pad and loved the variegated look that it left.
Sentiments
Both of the sentiments are from the Stamp set and Dies. As is the shape for the Comfort & Strength sentiment. You know how I love all in one bundles! Instead of using the little dot of cardstock for dotting the “i”, I added one of the Iridescent Pearls. These are so pretty! And of course I had to add a few more scattered around the lattice section.
