Toiled Sympathy

" Sometimes it's hard to know what to say to someone that has lost a loved one. A card is a great way to encourage someone who is grieving. As you make the card, say a prayer for the person you are making it for and ask God to bless them."


I created a sympathy card for a Toil Challenge at splitcoast stampers. I used some toiled decorative paper in my design. The bottom is pleated toiled paper with a stamped belly band wrapped in ribbon. The paper is Pleated every 1/4" and 3/4". This will be a very nice card to give to someone who has lost a loved one.

I was also able to play with the new SU color, Purely Pomegranate and textured cardstock. I love it!


Behind my phrase you see a stamped flower image. That is achieved by a technique called "stamping off". This technique gives you a lighter stamped image, I ink up my image and then stamp once on scrap paper and then stamp onto my cardstock...that way the image is a lighter color and faded.
