For this sympathy card, I took out the Daisy Bed 3D embossing folder I recently purchased from Altenew and embossed some black cardstock and some watercolor cardstock I had colored with yellow watercolors. I had stamped the sentiment on the black cardstock using VersaMark ink and then added white embossing powder and heat set the sentiment before embossing the panel.
I wanted to try a new fun fold called a Corner Flip Fold Card. If you'd like to see the instructions and measurements, check out this link: Create Magical Pop-Up Cards! | Corner Flip Fold Card Tutorial. I followed Tami's instructions except that I didn't add a pop up to the inside flap. I think that would be really pretty and hope to try that in a future card.
To embellish the card, I added 2 flowers I stamped using Altenew's Mini Delight: Wild Geraniums stamps and coordinating dies. I added a foliage die cut from Altenew's Zero Waste: Berries & Branches set. It was die cut from some cardstock I had watercolored using Altenew's Dusk Watercolor Marker Refill.
For the inside of the card, I die cut the "sending prayers" sentiments and shadows from Altenew's Versatile Greetings 2 set. I kept to the yellow, pink, and blue color palette along with the black and white in order to participate in Altenew's monthly Inspiration Challenge.

DeleteThis take on a sympathy card is wonderful. Subdued with a pop of bright color. Isn't that how emotions go when a loss occurs?
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing, Carrie.

Thanks, Rae! I was hoping the yellow would lift their spirits.
DeleteCarrie, I was looking at my black card stock today and thinking I don't use it very much. Your card is an inspiration! I love the yellow as well. Absolutely stunning.
