Unfortunately I had to make a condolence card today - something none of us want to do but have to now and again. I decided to use the lovely Marianne Designables cut and emboss - unfortunately it hasn't got a name on it but the code is DS0912 - it always reminds me of an eastern pattern. I used Anna Marie's double sided white pearl card which was mounted on some dark purple card (which looks blue in the photo). I then die cut some tulips using my new Memory Box dies "Dancing Tulips" and the dies that match "Tulip Petals". These extra petals are a little bit fiddly as they are so small but they give the flowers such extra dimension it's worth it. I also used their "Willow Dragonfly" which is the smaller of the two dragonfly dies they have. The sentiment is an Anita's stamp and I used Dusty Concorde DI to stamp it. The finishing touches are a ribbon and three pearls.Thanks for stopping by.
Lovely card Karen....as you say not the sort of cards we like making but great use of your new dies...
