Sympathy card featuring the Flowering Flourishes, Flower Shop and Sweet Essentials stamp sets. |
As you can see, I took a few liberties with the sketch, but I think the basic layout is still there. I wanted the design to be very clean, so I omitted a few layers.
I stamped the flower on vellum and heat embossed it in white. Then I coloured the back side of the vellum with Wisteria Wonder and Blushing Bride markers before punching it out with the Pansy Punch. Colouring on the back of the vellum gives a very soft, muted look. Kinda pretty, no? I skipped the ribbon and settled for just a single pearl by way of embellishment. Not an easy feat for me, as you well know.
If you haven't give this sketch a try yet, give it a shot. There are tons of possibilities. I'll be back later in the week with another take on it...in the meantime, here's hoping the week passes as quickly as the weekend did!!
So gorgeous Leena!! I want to run down to my craft space right now & stamp on vellum too!
