Welcome - thank you for visiting.
I have had to make a few sympathy cards recently, and here is another.

This started with the watercolour paper panel, which I had used the pounding technique to imprint the flowers onto. This was mounted onto light violet card after adding the gold ribbon with a folded bow and flower brad.
I then embossed the sentiment onto the lemon panel, which wascut with a Label 14 die, and I ran some gold faux stitching around before removing the die.
The final touch was the flourish of champagne pearls.

So pretty Maxine. My new dies arrived today... can't wait to play. Love the colour of your background. Did you use real flowers? I used my CB to press some flowers onto watercolour paper the other day. This looks stunning
