With Sympathy, DRU, Sue Wilson




                                                         Hello Crafty Friends! Welcome back!  
                                         I've got a Sympathy card to share created in pretty blue tones.  
                                 It is a design that could be put together rather quickly to be duplicated.  


DRU Products used:  
Creative Expressions Cutting Dies by Sue Wilson

Mini Expressions Collection - With Sympathy

Other Products used:
Blue Cardstock, White Cardstock, Vellum Paper, Satin Ribbon and Flat-back Pearls
***********************************************************************

How-To Details
Die Cut the Jocelyn Die 3 times out of Vellum and 3 times out of White Cardstock.
Layer, adhere and arrange the cuts across the front of a 6x6 card as shown.
Then Die-Cut frames out of both White and Blue Cardstock. I also cut-out and extra framing out of white recycled cardboard (from 12x12 packaging sets), and adhere to back of layered frames for added dimension.
 Trim a strip of Vellum to adhere across the white frame then place blue frame over this to cover edges. Your sentiment will then be added over the vellum to separte it from the background.
For extra dimension to the framing, add foam adhesive to the backing of edges as shown. 
Then layer and adhere the 3 additional die-cut sentiments and place over the vellum strip. 
 Adhere entire framing over the background.

Finally add your bow and Pearls. That's it!
Hope you'll give this design a try!   :)

  5. Oh, this is absolutely stunning! Sympathy cards are the most difficult to make, in my opinion. I am sure this beautiful card will bring comfort to the family. Thank you for playing with us at Make My Monday and hope you can join us again soon.
