Unfortunately we do need sympathy cards. I thought the new Beautiful Gallery DSP would be great since I have been using, and loving it, lately. And I added a few other extra products.
STAMPS & DIES
This gorgeous peony stamp is from the Gallery Blooms stamp set with the matching Gallery Blooms Dies to cut it out. I paired it with the Impressions Abloom Die for the oval background. It is in two pieces as you can see. I did not realize that when I cut it for the first time. DUH! But I figured a way to add the Mossy Meadow border around the white.
To complete the stamping, I added a simple sympathy statement. This one is from the Unbounded Love stamp set. This set has sentiments for most occasions. Plus it has a matching die set.
PAPERS
The papers are as much the star of the card as the die cut image. There are two sheets , or strips, from the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper. Both are the “back” of the painting type prints. I had the idea to color the flowers on the left side strip. By using Petal Pink Light Stampin’ Blend for the flower and then Flirty Flamingo Light Stampin’ Blend for the detail, I think it looks pretty good. The leaves are colored with Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. That matches fairly well to the right side strip of DSP.
For the card base I went with Gray Granite to pull from the flower outlines. And the layer is Petal Pink again. I rarely use this color and am very surprised how well I like it against the Gray Granite. It reminds me of the pink and gray 50’s / 60’s bathrooms!
EXTRAS
To complete my card I went with a new Bling. These are the Holographic Resin Dots. In person they really pick up the green colors. And since the flower is raised with Stampin’ Dimensionals the dots are not too tall.
