STAMPIN' UP! SYMPATHY CARD USING ARTISTIC DIES

 It seems I haven't quite got Basic Gray out of my system!  I had on my craft desk, a leafy die cut (from the Artistic Dies set) in Very Vanilla, and a panel of Simply Elegant Designer Series Paper, that I thought I might use in my Basic Gray creating last week.  I've put them to use on a sympathy card.

To create the background behind the die cut, I first used the Stitched Greenery Die on a Very Vanilla piece of card.  I then ran the card back through my Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine, using the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.  Here's a closer look at the textured detail:

The sentiment, from Inspired Thoughts, was stamped in Basic Gray ink on a scrap of Very Vanilla card.  I cut it out using the Messages Die, and added some tiny pearls and a Basic Gray twine bow.

Listed below are all the products I used to make this card.  If you live in Australia, and would like to shop with me for your Stampin' Up! supplies, you can get to my online store by clicking on any of the thumbnail images below.
