Tree Sympathy

 Welcome

This is the last of the sympathy cards for a while (I hope).


I started by masking my card and sponging the green inks onto the card base - I used Bundled Sage, Peeled Paint and Forest Moss Distress Inks, starting in the centre with the lightest ink.


The tree is a S/B  Die D'lites Whimsical Tree die cut


The leaf stamp, from Stampin' Up Lovely as a Tree set, was randomly stamped and gold embossed on the green panel.


The sentiment (ODBD  With Deepest Sympathy) was gold embossed.  It looks a bit fuzzy, but that was partially due to the fact that it was stamped on linen textured card. A few green rhinestones finished the card.
