#Inked Botanicals

Sympathy cards are not the type of card I enjoy making. Lately though, it seems like I’ve been creating alot of them. I made this card using Mary Fish’s Stampin’ Pretty Sketchbook sketch #21 as my muse. I wanted the colors in the card to coordinate, so I chose Lost Lagoon and Pool Party to give this card a soft blended look. I stamped the Lost Lagoon card base and Pool Party die cut layer with Lost Lagoon ink. The sentiment was stamped with Versamark ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. Lastly I embellished the card using Lost Lagoon Tinsel Gems and a White Glitter Organdy Ribbon knot bow.
