With Deepest Sympathy

Hello Friends!

{Delighted this was a Seize the Sketch "Runner Up" on 6/10/14}

As you can see from the title, I had to make another Sympathy card. It's for my husband's Commander who just lost one of his parents. His co-workers have really been hit hard this last month with loss. So sad. 

I started with my favorite Kraft cardstock from The Kraft Outlet, then I matted some patterned paper after distressing the edges. I followed by adding another piece of orange and cream polka-dotted patterned paper to the card front at an angle. At the top, I took a length of pumpkin spice seam binding and wrapped it around and tied in a fussy bow adding a Sand Boutique Button and Natural Hemp Cord.

I stamped my sentiment on a piece of Buff Ivory Cardstock and made into a banner and distressed the edges with ink and distress tool. I had a chipboard dove in my stash and I gave it a spritz with a mister and sanded it down a bit.

I sought some inspiration at Seize The Sketch. Took some slight creative liberties. :-)
