What a morning! My husband left the house to go off to work with the sympathy card I asked him to mail for me. Several moments later, I heard the front door open and there he stood saying, “Don’t be mad at me! Look at what happened!” He had dropped the card into a large puddle in our driveway…and that was the end of that card.
So, I started all over again using the Mojo Monday #110 Sketch and came up with this card.
Here’s what I did:
•I followed the sketch using Rich Razzleberry cardstock (5” x 5” square base) and Rich Razzleberry Patterns Designer Series Paper. Gina’s Tip: I love mixing and matching all the different patterns. They coordinate so beautifully.
•I stamped the “Butterfly/Flower” Stamp from the Of the Earth Stamp Set onto Whisper White cardstock three times. The first time the stamp was inked normally and then I stamped it two more times, but did not re-ink it so it created two shadows of the original stamp. I punched out the image and added a ring of scallops around it.
•I stamped “With Sympathy” from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set in Craft Whisper White onto Rich Razzleberry cardstock and heat embossed it with clear Stampin’ emboss powder. I punched out the sentiment using my Modern Label Punch and placed it on top of another Modern Label punched out of Whisper White cardstock and cut in half to make a border.
•I added a bow of Rich Razzleberry ribbon on the polka dot side as a finishing touch.
Now, I will go out and mail this card myself!

Love that card. Wonderful what you did with basically a single color. Also like the lighter stamped off image! Nice work, Gina,
