A Simple & Fresh Sympathy Card Idea

Create this Everything will be ok Card with the Charming Sentiments Stamp Set and Gorgeous Garden Dies from Stampin' Up! Card by Mary Fish, Stampin' Pretty

Sharing a handcrafted sympathy card with someone who needs support can mean so much.  I’m fond of using fresh colors that will evoke happiness and hope.

WHAT I LOVE! The Coastal Cabana tone on tone texture created with the Gorgeous Gardens Dies is a showstopper.  It looks like uber rich embossing!  So chic!
