Sympathy Cards

My aunt had requested a few Sympathy cards to have on hand,
I had a few that I have shared here already, but needed more.

I checked out Pinterest & found a few ideas!

Here is What I came up with 


I used Distress ink to ink my background, 
I stamped the thistles in black & sentiment
then used embossing powder to make them pop.



I liked this paper, it's light, 
I liked it paired with the dandelion puff, 
I also added the butterfly & sentiment 
then embossed them.


 

This stamp is one of my favorite & most used stamps,
The entire stamp has a lot of  poppies but I sectioned on off.
& stamped it on this shape and popped it up.
I them added the sentiment and embossed it.


Thanks for stopping by and checking out my cards!!
I would like to enter them into the following challenges

    Making symphathy cards is a real challenge. And I think your results are very suitable and elegant. The slightly glittery embossing powder looks great!
    Thanks for sharing your card with the Daring Cardmakers this week.

    Beautifully created cards for the sort we don't like to make, and your inky backgrounds are just so lovely, and make the beautiful images pop. Thank you for joining the challenge at BBB and good luck, Kate x

    They are all so Pretty Lesli! I love the different designs... so simple and yet so elegant... which is fitting for what they'll be used for... Do you have an Embossing Buddy? Static Powder tool? It's for the embossing.... You use that first before stamping and embossing.... Just wondering... :) Hugs!

    All three cards are lovely. I especially like the bokeh paper in the second card paired with the dandelion.
