Deepest Sympathy


Happy Thursday Peeps!!


Today's card share is one I made using the sketch this week at  Freshly Made Sketches:




I use to make square cards quite a bit, but haven't lately so it was fun to do one again.

I used the Flowering Blooms stamp set. I really like the floral images in this set, I thought when I got it, it might be difficult to work with because of how it is shaded. It is a disINKtive set and has a lot of dark areas already on the stamp, so when stamped with my Black Memento ink, I thought it would be more black than the color used, but it looks great, I


The Flowering Dies that goes with this set are a must have. 

I colored my bloom with Highland Heather Blends and the leaves with the Old Olive Blends.

The DSP I used is from the retired Dress To Impress 6x6 pack, I have so many retired papers, I want to use some up, hope you don't mind. :)

I embossed the white panel behind the flower with the Subtle embossing folder. 
The flower is added o the white embossed piece with dimensionals.


The die cut strip across the white panel and under the flower and sentiment piece is from the Flowering dies and die cut in Gorgeous Grape card stock.. It is a more detailed intricate piece but I just cut away the parts I didn't want.

The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments set, I cut away the "with" that is part of it, to make it work for the space I had here.

I rhinestones I used are also from the retired Noble Peacock rhinestone pack, I picked up a couple of extra packs when the retired. I knew I would use them the colors are amazing.

The bow is made from strands of twine pulled from the retired whisper white Flax ribbon, of which I also stocked up on. It is my favorite way to add a pretty little accent and knew I would use it as well.
