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:
The Allsorts Challenge Week # 739/40 - Anything but Square
August Stencil Fun Challenge - A/G *optional butterflies
Thanks for stopping by and I wish you all the best possible day!

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
Carol, This card is gorgeous.The dahlia is so pretty in the white and purple colors. Great choice.
The soft colours and design are perfect for this sympathy card, thanks for joining us at Allsorts this time.
