Forever Fern, Peaceful Moments, Sympathy Card, Stampin' Up!

While I was looking on Pinterest for something else, I ran across this card and thought I'd give it a try. You an see the original card here.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. This card opens on the bottom and the fold is on the top.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Sahara Sand card stock and taped it to the front of the card base.

Next I cut a 3-1/4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and textured it using the "Painted Texture" embossing folder. 

I stamped the leaf cluster from the "Forever Fern" set using Sahara Sand ink. Then I die cut using the matching dies. I tied a piece of linen thread around the stem and tied a bow. I think it would have been much easier just to tie a bow and glue it down! I added Dimensionals to the back and the piece in place on the front of the card.

The words are from the "Peaceful Moments" set and were stamped using Sahara Sand ink.  I punched them out using the "Double Oval" punch. I set the words piece in place using Dimensionals and the card was done.

This was a very quick and easy card to make. I think if I were to make another one, I would cut the textured piece of card stock at 3" instead of 3-1/4".  But all in all, I like the card.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop by and see today's sympathy card,
