Make It Monday #16 - Sympathy Cards

This weeks Make It Monday challenge is to make sympathy cards. Thankfully I haven't needed any of these types of cards recently so I will keep this in my stash for just in case.


The patterned paper is from SEI's Moonrise paper pad (LOVE these papers!). The Delightful Dahlia flower die-cut is heat embossed with gold powder and the centers are adhesive pearls. The die-cut leaves are embossed with the Vineyard impression plate which echoes the patterned paper very nicely. Sentiment is from Mega Mixed Messages.

For more inspiration, you can see other sympathy cards I made before here and here.

Thank you for stopping by!

    Very lovely card. The gold embossing just makes the entire card. All of your sympathy cards are beautiful and when I look at them I feel your warmth that you put into making them.
