CAS Sympathy .......



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'

Very understated !

    This is really lovely, Sid. Very tasteful, pretty and a super elegant layout. Sympathy cards are so hard to get right, but you've hit it spot on with this. Fab design. Thanks so much for playing along with us at Less is More :)

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

    Pastels are a great choice for a sympathy card. Beautifully understated and I love the effect of the darker shades on the edges.
