Thoughts & Prayers

This is a sympathy card I made for one of my husband's co-workers.

Here is the list of what I used:

Baja Breeze card stock, #11352

Vanilla card stock, #101650

Early Espresso card stock, #119686

Thoughts & Prayers stamp set, #113252

Early Espresso classic ink, #119670

Baja Breeze classic ink, #111833

Trio Flower Punch, which is now retired. You could also use Itty Bitty Shapes, #118309

Wide Oval punch, #119859

Eyelet Border Punch, #119853

Pearls, #119247

5/8" Early Espresso Grosgrain Ribbon, #119955

Tip: To make the flowers "cup" like I did, place the flower in your hand and using a stylist, push in the center and the flower will "cup". You can also use your Mat pack, #105826 or mouse pad and lay your flower down and using your stylist, push in the center.

Tip: To make the gathered Early Espresso around the large oval, simply punch out your card stock with the Eyelet punch and put it through your Paper Crimper, #101631 several times until you break down the fibers. Add sticky strip to the back of the oval and gather the c/s as you stick it down.
