This card will be entered into the Challenge at Papertrey Ink, Die Cut Stencil.
Papertrey Ink products; Hexagon die, Through The Trees stamp set and Flower Favorites, stamp and die sets. I only used a portion of the Hexagon die and sponged in Frost White ink over my Kraft card stock base. Then cutting the Hexagon die from more Kraft card stock I trimmed it down to create a full hexagon panel when placed up against the stenciled side. I really love how that came out. Topped the 'cut line' with a thin white ribbon and a pretty sparkly white ribbon too.
Cut and stamped the pretty flowers, inks in Pear Pizzazz, So Saffron, Timber Brown and Wild Wasabi. Sentiment stamped in Black Licorice. I added texture to the Kraft focal panel using a Honeycomb Embossing Folder. Topped with my flowers and sentiment and more sparkly ribbon. I also added Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to the center of the flowers. That sparkle really ties in well with my wide ribbon.
Thankfully I do not need a sympathy card just yet. They are the hardest to make but the most important to send. It's good to have some on hand.
Thanks for coming by!
Enjoy~~

ReplyDeletea gorgeous background and so much texture with just the sponging. Great idea to split it too. Love the touches of sparkly ribbon and the flower image to complete it.
ReplyDeleteWow! Check out the triple layers of ribbon in this gorgeous creation! How fantastic to use that hexagon so creatively on all three areas. You're so right that it is the most important card to send, and I'm glad you don't need a sympathy card right now. I have also found that late-coming cards are sometimes even more welcoming than the first ones that arrived! Donna, this is beautiful. hugs, de
