Happy Hibiscus, Unbounded Love, Sympathy Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a quick and simple sympathy card to share with you. I got the idea for it on Pinterest. You can see the original card here. There were no instructions, so please read on to see how it was made.

The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

Using the square dies from the "Stylish Shapes" set I cut out two from Basic White and one using Basic Black card stock. I used the first, second and third largest squares in that set.

Taking the smallest piece I textured it using the die from the "Happy Hibiscus" bundle. I glued that to the Basic Black square and then I taped them to the Basic White square.

I set the squares on top of the card to see where the words were going to go. The words are from the "Unbounded Love" bundle and were stamped using Smoky Slate ink. I think Basic Gray or even Basic Black would have been a better choice. At first I thought those two colors might be too dark but once I stamped the words with the Smoky Slate I realized it was a mistake but I'm keeping it anyway. I could have used the card for something else but I have a pile of "for something else" and I don't need to add to it.

Anyway, the card is finished. It's very quick and easy too! Clean and simple. It probably took me longer to type this up and get it posted than it did to make the card!  LOL

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