Sympathy Cards for Sparkle N Sprinkle

Hello, everyone and happy Saturday!! It's my turn to post on the Sparkle N Sprinkle Blog and I have a couple of sympathy cards with you today featuring the newly released Pretty Blooms 873 stamp set.


Products Used

Pretty Blooms 873
Glitter: Crystal Ice (G1058)
Embossing Powder: Antiquities (EP266)
Flocking: Pink Spirit (SS108)
Adhesive: Sticker Paper (99558); Super Adhesive Sheets (SAS02); Nuvo Glue Pen Smooth Precision (206N); Tear-ific Tape 1/4 " (SAT01)
Dies: Memory Box Tender Leaves and Stitched Ovals; Taylored Expressions Banners
Other: Versamark Embossing Ink Pad (VM001); Tonic Spring Cut Fine Tip Detail Scissors (404); Wild Orchid Crafts Flowers, DL.ART Ribbon; Prismacolor Pencils


For these sympathy cards, I started with a sheet of Sticker Paper (99558) and I covered it with Pink Spirit (SS108) flocking.


I stamped the Pretty Blooms 873 stamps with Versamark Embossing Ink Pad (VM001) and then heat embossed with Antiquities (EP266) embossing powder. The flowers were then cut with a Memory Box Stitched Oval die and adhered to the flocked paper with Super Adhesive Sheets (SAS02).


I also used Antiquities (EP266) embossing powder to stamp the sentiment and to cover the butterfly.


The flowers were colored with Prismacolor Pencils. I then used a Nuvo Glue Pen Smooth Precision (206N) and covered the edges with glitter. They were then cut out with Tonic Spring Cut Fine Tip Detail Scissors (404). I added foam for dimension and adhered them with Tear-ific Tape 1/4 " (SAT01).


Thanks so much for stopping by!! Have a great day :)

  30. My sweetest friend, these are incredibly beautiful! The bright red is at the same time striking and soothing... how amazing is that? You colored the image so gorgeously and I am in love with the flocking. I knew you were going to be an enormous blessing to Sparkle N Sprinkle. The embossing throughout is sheer elegance. I want to hop into your card and live in this beautiful garden. These will help the recipients heal in such a lovely way. There is something so magical about everything you create, regardless of style. It's beautiful, lovely, and inspires my heart so richly. Thank you for the gift of YOU. :) Have a wonderful Sunday, my dearest Lisa. My family and I treasure you beyond words. :)

    Hugs and blessings,
