Today I am here again with another sympathy card. This one went to a friend in Florida who lost her husband. I used another technique that I learned in the “Crushing on Cardstock” course that I did recently.
The poppy is one of my Crafty-a-Flower die sets. They make such gorgeous flowers. I cut the concentric circles in the black and grey cardstock with infinity circle dies and used an embossing folder to emboss a piece behind the smallest circle. I painted the edges of the circles with gold metallic watercolor.
I completed my card by adding the poppy to the center and added a die cut sentiment cut from gold foil cardstock. I tried to keep it flat so that it would go well through the mail.
