Hello again! I'm here today with a feminine sympathy card in colors that remind me of my own dear mother. (She loved these colors and wore them quite often.) I was shuffling through paper pads and thought that these two pads from Craft Consortium looked so soft and pretty together. The layout is one from a while back at Deconstructed Sketches.
I love using this kraft card stock with these shimmery ink drops prints. It looks especially pretty when layered with colored card stock and some shimmery ink for the edges and for stamping the sentiments. That little bit of sparkle seems to soften everything and meld all the colors together (and in this case the extra layers of card stock lend some stability to the thin base layer which is not much thicker than copy paper)!
The flower I used as an embellishment was my second choice because I am out of my favorites! This one was a bit bright in comparison to the rest of the card so I tipped its edges with a Copic marker to tone it down and help it to blend in better. (I've linked to the one that would have been my first choice in the supplies list below). The variegated ribbon beneath the flower echoes all of the lovely colors in that beautiful paper. The silk is so soft and elegant!
Here's the inside. More of that shimmery paper and a heartfelt sentiment!
