STAMPIN' UP! SYMPATHY CARD IN HIGHLAND HEATHER

 I so enjoyed creating with Highland Heather for last night's blog hop, that I made a second card.  I started off using the same technique as on this card I made a couple of months ago.  I embossed a piece of Shimmery White card with the gorgeous Magnolia 3D embossing folder.  Using Stampin' Blends markers, I then coloured the flowers in Highland Heather, the centres in So Saffron, and the leaves in Mint Macaron.  In the background, I stamped the "splatter" stamp, from Quiet Meadow, in Highland Heather ink (stamped off first onto scrap paper, to give a lighter impression on my card).

I cut two clusters of stems from Basic White card, using a Harvest Die, then coloured them using Light and Dark Highland Heather Stampin' Blends.  After trimming them (and deciding they look like lavender!), I adhered them to the embossed panel, and added a White Glittered Organdy Ribbon bow.

I trimmed the width of the Shimmery White embossed panel, to reveal a little of the Highland Heather Designer Series Paper on which it is matted.  The sentiment, from Many Happenings, was stamped in Basic Gray ink (using my Stamparatus) on Basic White card (only because I forgot to use Shimmery White, to tie in with the card base and the embossed panel!).  I used the Messages Die to cut it out.

Opal Rounds are a nice embellishment to use with the purple and green tones on my card.

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.
