This Sympathy card was made on a 5 x 7 inch white card blank. I diecut a flower & stem in pastel green card and then stamped three more in peach, lavender & pink. The flower heads were trimmed off and overlayed on the green base diecut and these were then edged in a slighly darker Copic Marker.
I then diecut a stitched rectangle and stuck the flower in place. This was then matted on foam pads as shown.
The sentiment (Uniko), was stamped on a small piece of white card in Versafine ink and this was mounted on more foam pads to complete the card.
It meets the Less Is More Challenge Blog for this week whose theme is '3 Pastels'

DeleteThree pastels and absolutely perfect Sid - CAS is often the most challenging form of card making as you can't necessarily cover up boo boos!
