With Heartfelt Sympathy

Hello friends! You might be thinking you're experiencing Deja Vu because of the cards I'm sharing today! These are a CAS version of THESE cards that I made a few weeks ago. I really had so much fun creating them so before I put all of my supplies away, I quickly made these two sympathy cards.

I kept the coloring of the flowers and foliage (the Bouquet Backdrop Die) the same as before because I really like how it turned out. Rather than adding the frames around the panels, I chose to keep them plain but adding a hint of Hawaiian Shores ink around the edges for contrast and added depth.

This card uses one of my favorite sentiments from the Feathered Friends 4 stamp set and stamped directly onto the panel using a mini MISTI and black ink.

This particular sentiments is and oldie, but goodie, from Stampin' Up! This is one of those sets that I will never part with and I use it often! 

I added just a touch of black paint splatter for some added detail as well as some glitter and sequins. The entire focal panel is added to a top folding white A2 cards base using foam squares. I've already sent one of these out and the other one is headed out today! Boo! Maybe I need to make another set, but this time for something happy, like a birthday! Ha ha! Thanks for fluttering by!
