Gina Marie Designs Sympathy Card

This card uses a new technique I learned at the Stamp Academy class I won from a blog hop a few weeks ago. I was able to inlay this very intricate die cut into the lovely blue paper I had watercolored by die cutting the Gina Marie Designs "Sympathy" die and then leaving all the pieces in the die and placing a small amount of adhesive on the back of all the little bits I needed to add back to the opening (the opening in the "p" and the "a" and all the bits of blue in the flourishes). Then I placed the die back inside the die cut opening and adhered them down by gently pressing on each one with the tool I use to get the small pieces out of my dies when they stick. It worked beautifully! Then I simply die cut the word in silver cardstock and sprayed it with my spray on adhesive before placing it in the space left for it in the blue paper. It fit perfectly! Then I die cut Gina Marie Designs dragonfly die and added a few silver sequins. Isn't this a lovely sympathy card?
