I want to build up a 'stash' of sympathy cards to have something on hand for those moments that often occur so unannounced, so when I saw this CAS card by Jessica at iEmbellish I was inspired!! Thank you Jessica.
A short time later I saw the challenge over at Our Daily Bread Designs and combined the two for this card.

The center panels were cut with spellbinders oval Nestibilities, and I also embossed them both and sponged them with Brilliance Mediterranean blue ink before removing the dies.
The sentiment was simply stamped (and not embossed) in the same ink - the stamp is by Our Daily Bread Designs "Praying for You" sympathy set.
I added flat backed pearls either side of the sentiment panel and under the sentiment itself for finishing detail.
I am very happy with this card, and may well make some more, possibly using different colourways but the same basic concept.

Thank you for calling by, and your comments 'make my day'.
May your day be blessed.
