Leafy sympathy

I seem to always use leaves on sympathy cards:



I've been busy with little craft time and my mojo is suffering.  I think a lot of crafters do what I do at these times: tidy up our desks!  I organized a stack of snippets, and the torn leaf panel was part of that pile.  It is so pretty that it triggered my creativity (for a sympathy card-- strange, since that is my least fave kind of card to make, but nice to have on hand.)

Supplies:
  • Leaf panel is Strathmore watercolor paper
  • Leaf stamp must be 13+ years old-- just a cheap rubber stamp used when I helped my BFF with her first wedding which was in 2004, I think...
  • Leaf stamp embossed with Ranger EP in Princess Gold
  • Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals used to color leaf panel
  • Light background panel is generic cardstock stamped with Tim's Ledger Script stamp set with DOx in Antique Linen
  • Mounted turquoise/teal panel is by Core'dinations
  • Sentiment written with a Zig Emboss Writer and embossed with Ranger Antique Turquoise
I'd like to share this with the following challenges:

  2. This is the type of CAS card that I truly love (and can't do to save my life LOL)! I love the white space that still has understated details. This really is a stunning card! I will remember to use leaves on my sympathy cards in the future. Thank you for playing with us at Retro Rubber and hope you will be back in our gallery again soon.
