Heartfelt Sympathy


 I used a set of Altenew Dahlia layering stencils to create this sympathy card using lavender and purple inks. I created a border with coordinating cardstock and a Martha Stewart doily border punch, and added a panel with the sympathy sentiment stamped in purple along with some random purple and lavender gemstones. The stencils pretty much did all the work for me on this one!

I'll share this with the following challenges:

Thanks for stopping by and I wish you all the best possible day!

    Beautiful stencil work Carol, always difficult cards to make but this is perfect and the soft lilacs a very peaceful colour.

    This is beautiful, Carol! I love this stencil and the pretty, soft colors you used. It's good to see that Martha Stewart scalloped border punch still being used, too! I loved that thing and probably wore mine out! LOL TFS...I love it! Hugs~

    wow, I think I need this stencil! LOL Truly! I love this gorgeous, stunning sympathy card Carol! Love the colors of purple you chose, the sentiment is such pretty fonts and of course the MS punch is perfect. Just stunning! Hope you didn't get any nasty storms today or this evening. I was praying for rain, but we just got a few sprinkles even though it look like we were going to get hit good. We didn't. It slid away from me. Typical for us. We are so dry. The muggies came back, so guess we are going back to the humid, high dew points kind of days. LOL I'm not sorry, but I did enjoy those nice low humidity/dew point days! Hugs, Brenda
