Thinking of You

I was in need of a Sympathy Card this week ..... a dear family friend had passed away.
 
Serendipitously, I had been playing with some new #Altenew inks that had arrived in the mail from Auzz Trinklets N Crafts just a few days earlier.  I stamped up some lavender flowers using the Altenew BAF Lavender set and die cut several layers, glued together to add dimension.  I tied 2 lavenders together with some gold twine and glued them together.  For the background, I used a single lavender stamp, and Altenew 'Wisteria' Crisp Dye Ink - stamping several times, then adding some 'splatters' using a few other inks.  I then stamped 'thinking of you' using the Altenew 'Permanent Black' Crisp Dye Ink at the bottom of the cardfront. 
 
 The layered lavender flowers were added to the cardfront using 3D foam tabs, and a final touch of 'bling' added with some randomly placed pearls. Linking with the following challenges:Creative Knockouts #515 - die cuts/stencils/punches Beautiful Blossoms Challenge #14 - Anything Floral

  1. Gorgeous lavender set, one doesn't see lavender stamp set often so this one is going on my "must have" list. Your card is also lovely, the light stamped images in the background make a lovely backdrop for the floral. Thanks for playing at The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge. We appreciate your support!
