I wanted the card we shared with this family to be a soft hug and yet celebrate the beauty of a life well lived.
My plan was to use the vibrant & feminine colors of her life and gently mute them under a bouquet of roses.
The brilliance of the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks on this card were softened beautifully under the vellum panel, heat embossed in gold with Unity Stamp Company's large rose from the December 2016 KOM "Always Been You" collection.
"Beautiful Life, Blessed Memories" sentiment from Unity Stamp Company |
The die cut "Prayers" is from the Hero Arts "Stamp & Cut" series. 2 layers ~ the first is black cardstock & attached underneath the white. (this gives it sturdiness and dimension)
Soft and feminine, I just love the way this card turned out.
Wendy, this is one of the prettiest sympathy cards I have ever seen! I am smitten by the soft oxides and rich golden embossing. But I am even more impressed with your masking of these delicate images on VELLUM no less! It's an amazing card! thanks for sharing how you made it. hugs, de
