Morning all! This week I created a sympathy card to add to my stash. You know how hard it is to come up with a good design when you are under pressure, right? I saw these gorgeous stamps in my Unity KOM from 1-11, and decided to play with a monochromatic card, with a raised panel. The stamps I used are the flower border at the bottom, and the sentiment. Both were stamped in Versafine Onyx Black. I found this damask b&w print strip in my stash and split it between the front and inside. I got a few strips of Washi tape involved, as well as an MS butterfly, punched out of black. A few pearls were used as accents.
