All My Sympathy - Fab Friday #169

This sympathy card is being submitted to the sketch challenge at Fab Friday #169.'



The card base is a top fold Night of Navy card stock, layered with Whisper White, and then another layer of Whisper White which had been embossed with  Oh My Stars embossing folder brayered with Night of Navy ink.
A strip of Vellum card stock was adhered across the card front, just below the mid point.

On a separate piece of Whisper White card stock, I masked off a 2 1/4" circle.  Using daubers, So Saffron, Daffodil Delight, and Crushed Curry were added to create a moon. The bird image from "Sailing Home" was stamped over the moon.  A 2 1/4" circle punch was then used to punch out the moon and it was adhered to the card front with the top edge tucked under the moon.


Using the stamparatus, the image of  the fir tree from "Rooted in Nature" was stamped using Mossy Meadow ink, die cut using a Nature's Roots die, and adhered with the branches overlapping the moon and the trunk extending over the vellum.

The "sympathy" sentiment was die cut in Night of Navy, using one of the Well Written dies' the rest of  the sentiment (from Well Written) was stamped with Black Memento on Whisper White and adhered above the die cut word on the left.

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Rooted in Nature, Well Written, Sailing Home
Inks:  So Saffron, Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, Black Memento, Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy
Papers:  Night of navy, Whisper White, Vellum
Accessories:  2 1/4" circle punch, Well written die, Rooted in Nature die, Oh My Stars Embossing folder, Adhesive sheets

I like how the brayered ink on the stars is just a tad lighter than the rest of the background..really neat look! Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!
