Soft Sympathy Card

Hello!  Today I am up on the SweetStamps.com Blog sharing a soft sympathy card.  Sympathy cards are some of the hardest to create, at least for me, and I challenged myself to use stencils...

To create this card I started by going over the Circle Pavers Stencil with purple distress ink.  I then flipped the stencil upside down and went over it again with blue distress ink.  Next, I stamped the floral image in gold embossing powder.  I then layered it with vellum and embossed the sentiment.  I used the clear sequins as a way to add a soft embellishment and to hide the adhering of the vellum to the stenciled panel.

I am entering this into the following challenge:

Supplies Used:
Art Stencil CIRCLE PAVERS as46015
 With Sympathy 975

I hope I've inspired you on new ways to use your stencils!
Happy Crafting!
