Stampin' Up! Sympathy Card

Good Friday morning, peeps. Hope you have a fun weekend planned. I'll be in the craft room trying to finish card orders for Monday. My card today is another one for the sympathy card order.


My card base is Smoky Slate 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". I cut a mat 4" x 5 1/4" and ran it through my embossing machine. The DSP I used is Springtime Foils, which is retired. I have so much of it left and it's all cut up in various sizes when I was on the #loveitchopit band wagon! If you would like more information on measurements or anything else, just let me know in a comment.

All who follow me know that I love monochrome cards so I'll be entering this in the Stinkin' Inkers Challenge.

My design was inspired by the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.

The Alphabet Challenge Blog has "J is for jewels/jewellry" for its challenge. I do only have one jewel on my card, but it's worth its weight in gold ;-)

For the inside, I used another retired SU set, Thoughts and Prayers.
