Floral Romance Sympathy Card

Floral Romance Sympathy Card

While we all hate to make sympathy cards because it means the loss of someone we knew and cared about, we usually want to make a special card to send to the family, and with the Floral Romance Specialty Designer Series Paper you can’t go wrong as on this Floral Romance Sympathy Card.  The paper is so beautiful in itself I think it is perfect for this type of card. It’s pretty but soft and calming.

The Floral Romance paper is 12 sheets: 6 sheets of vellum, 2 each of 3 designs and the 6 sheets of regular printed paper.  The vellum is really pretty and something different.  Being printed, adhesives don’t seem to show through the paper so that makes it easier to use than regular plain vellum.

This card base is Petal Pink, one of the coordinating colors with this sheet of vellum.  The vellum is adhered to a piece of Whisper White Cardstock of the same size which shows off the design of the vellum.

The sympathy greeting is from the Flourishing Phrases Stamp Set.  This stamp set has some beautiful greetings plus very nice images. It’s one of those sets you will go back to many times.

The greeting is stamped on Whisper White Cardstock, die cut with the Big Shot and Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies.  I love the Stitched Shapes Dies and use them a lot. This piece is then layered on a Petal Pink scalloped oval, die cut with the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies.

The ribbon is the beautiful Rich Razzleberry 1/4″ Velvet Ribbon.  Although it is not one of the official coordinating colors, I thought it looked nice with the paper and certainly the ribbon itself is pretty and rich-looking. I couldn’t resist a few sequins on the card.  We all love the Basic Adhesive-Backed Sequins because they are easy to use!  No more tiny drops of glue!

You’ll find this pretty Floral Romance Designer Paper in the Occasions Catalog.  Although this card is a sympathy card, I had previously made a similar card you can see HERE with a different greeting, of course.  I sent this one to my daughter as a congratulatory card when she ran a 5K race and came in first in her age group!
