Nature's Symphony Sympathy Card

 

Nature's Symphony Dies + Peaceful Pier Stamp Set + Paradise Garden Hybrid Embossing Folder

As sad as it is to send a sympathy card, it is another opportunity for us to create a customized card from the heart.  Last week was one of those weeks for us.  

This was my first opportunity to use the Nature's Symphony Dies (This leaf stem is gorgeous)!!  The sentiment on the front is from Peaceful View stamp set (I used this sentiment on many many cards in the past 9 months)!  The embossed card front was created using the Paradise Garden Hybrid Embossing Folder (item # 167120) which will be available to customers starting March 3rd.

Detail View

 Pretty Peacock and Lost Lagoon pair together beautifully.  I pulled the inner sentiment from The Right Words Stamp Set.  The leafy stems came from Nature's Symphony stamp set.
