Elegant Sympathy Card with Rinea

Hello friends!

I needed to replenish my sympathy cards, and I really wanted to show that you can use Rinea foiled paper in any situation, so I set about creating an elegant Sympathy Card.

Here are the supplies that you will need to create this elegant card:

- Rinea Foiled Paper: Mocha/Gold Glossy

- Rinea Foiled Pape: Starstruck Mocha

- Close to My Heart Cardstock: Sapphire & White

- Close to My Heart Ink: Sapphire

- Cheeky Studio Ephemera

- Foam Squares

- Embossing Folder

- Adhesive of choice (I use Scotch ATG)

- Sympathy Stamp

To start with, I used an embossing folder to add some pattern and texture to a piece of Mocha/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper. I adhered it to a white mat background, then to a piece of the dark blue background. Using a piece of the Mocha Starstruck Foiled Paper, I repeated the same steps, but did not use the embossing folder this time.  The ephemera was added as desired and sentiment stamped. I liked the sentiment cut at an angle for extra interest.

I used foam squares to pop up the sentiment and some of the ephemera to add depth.  Finally, the entire card panel was added to a white card base. It really came together very nicely I think!

I hope you enjoyed this card. I was very happy how it turned out and I think it was the right amount of shine for an encouraging sympathy card.

Thanks for stopping by!  See you again soon.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #259

Hello friends, 

It's time for another sketch from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge! Here it is:

This sketch couldn't have been more perfect for this week. I thought this sketch over and over - and decided in light of the recent Humboldt Broncos Bus tragedy, to pay homage to my grieving home province, Saskatchewan.  It's a very simple card and I wish to express my deepest condolences to everyone affected by this unreal situation.

Here is what I created:

I hope you will come and play along with us.  Please keep the Humboldt Broncos organization, their friends, family and everyone affected in your prayers. Thanks for stopping by.
