Welcome
I was asked to make some more sympathy cards, and this is one of them.
I started with a piece of cream card stock, and clear embossed some leaves onto it - then the card developed a mind of it's own and took off in another direct than what I had envisioned.
I had ribbon and a doily die cut already to go, but the card said no, just the embossed leave die cut and the sentiment - so that's what it got!!
The leaf was cut with a TH die, dipped onto Versamark and sprinkled with gold ep, heated, and the process repeated. Love the outcome.
The sentiment was embossed on another scrap of the lemon (handmade paper) and die cut with a MB stitched rectangle.
All edges were sponged with Delicata gold ink.

Great card Maxine. Lovely colours
What a beautiful Sympathy card Maxine. Love the clear embossing and then the one accent gold embossed leaf. It's serene and beautiful yet cheerful too. Truly gorgeous. Your comment on my blog about the Bunnings paint samples made me smile tonight! I'm pretty sure it WAS a Bunnings one. Have a gorgeous week hunny. Hugs, Wends x

This is really beautiful Maxine. Great technique with emboss resist for your leafy bacgkround. Love the soft yellow. And that single leaf dipped and embossed in gold is AMAZING! LOVE it!

The perfect sympathy card! The embossing just glows on this pretty design!
Oh what a great design, Maxine! I love the gold embossed leaf and the clear embossed leaves in the background! Isn't it fun when a card takes goes wild? Thanks so much for sharing this with us at CAS Mix Up!
A very beautiful card, and I love the extra leaf with the gold embossing detail. It certainly draws the eye, and like the replication of that single leaf atop the embossed leaf background. Really pretty for a sympathy card (or other occasions too). TFS & Hugs
So beautifully done. Love the partial embossing on the leaf. It would make a great thanksgiving card too.
Gorgeous work Maxine.. love the colours and layout, it is funny how things happen isn't it? in the creative process!

What a beautiful Sympathy card. I love the gold embossed leaf and the embossed leaf background. Thank you for joining our blog challenge at SweetStamps.com.
Sometimes less is more--this is beautiful. The leaf really takes center stage!
ooooh, love the leaf! I need to remember to try this in the fall! Spring here :D
Love those leaves, especially that centerpiece one. Very nice! And yes, sometimes those cards just speak up and tell you how they will be done.
What pretty leaves, and a lovely idea for a sympathy card.
Very beautiful, I love the colours and embossing too! Thanks for playing along in this months challenge over at One Crazy Stamper :) Natalie DT/OCS
