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.
