Good Morning all…

Welcome again with the Wednesday inspiration for Heartfelt Creations. Today I have few sympathy cards to share. The loss is profound and no one can know the kind of pain that someone else is in. Your words of sympathy aren’t going to take away the pain (we know that), but in moments like this, it’s vital for those close to you, going through loss and sadness, to hear your support and love. A simple card with a heartfelt message can give little support and make anyone smile in their hard times too. Heartfelt Creations has launched beautiful sympathy stamps in its last Black Friday release. I have tried using the same and created few similar cards using the simple heat resist technique.

A strip of black cardstock, Papericious Sequence, Vellum sheet.

Instructions: The ready side fold card measures 5′ by 6 1/2 ‘. The piece of Canson watercolor paper for top panel measuring 4 1/2 ‘ by 6’. Stamp various leaves by with Versamark ink and sprinkle white heat embossing powder. Dust extras and heat set using a heat gun. Distress the panel using Lucky Clover and Evergreen Bough distress ink. Once happy with the blending clean the panel with a dry tissue. Sprinkle water using a mini mister and let it dry. Dab Evergreen Bough on a craft mat and color the leaves using koi watercolor brush. The sentiment is from All Things are Possible Cling Stamp Set and is stamped with Versamark clear on a piece of vellum and then heat resists using white heat embossing powder. Tear the vellum as shown in the picture. Matt a white card stock under the vellum sheet so that the sentiment pops out. Now layer the panel on white cardstock, 1/8′ bigger than the panel and layer it again using foam tapes on the card base. I have added an extra strip of black cardstock so that the panel can pop on the white card base. Embellish the card a little further with white heat embossed vellum butterflies and hand molded leaves glittered with Papericious Crystal Clear Glitter. For leaves, stamp the image using archival Library Green, and cut the images with it’s coordinating die, color them using archival leaf green and shape them using Deluxe flower shaping kit.  And for adhering Crystal Clear Glitter I have used Ranger clear crackle.
