Today, I decided to share two cards that I made using the Inky Flower Stamp Set and With Sympathy Word Die. Layered on the Dip Dyed Ombre Paper, it made a perfect sympathy card.
I made a bunch of these all at once because I struggle with sympathy cards, especially when I actually need one. When I come up with a nice design, I make several to ensure I have them on hand. I hate that I need a stash of sympathy cards but it is a fact of life. To create this cards, I chose several colors of Lil' Inker Designs Dip Dyed Ombre Paper and cut them for my card fronts. Then I stamped along the edges using Inky Flower in colors the either complimented the color of the paper or created a monochromatic look. I didn't want either product to outshine the other or be too flashy. I loved the combos I came up with as they looked simple and classy. I then cut my sentiment using the With Sympathy Word Die cut from in papers that matched the ink I used on the card. I toyed with the placement of my sentiment for awhile before deciding to use a little vellum to help it really stand out but not break the card up too much. Here is a look at each card individually.
I also played around with the orientation of the vellum. I really like them both and I hope you do too!
