Seaside Sympathy

It is both unfortunate and ironic that I need a sympathy card this week while DRS Designs is holding their Sympathy challenge.  I don't normally like to have to make a sympathy card when one is actually needed, but a friend of mine over at the Stamp Shack posted a card in the gallery that inspired today's card. (Thanks Amy!)

I created the background by inking a small acrylic block and stamping it directly on my cardstock with 3 different colors. Then I heat embossed the Sea Grass (128L)  and the One Line In Sympathy (262B) sentiment over top.

I added natural twine tied in a knot to the focal image and then added a small panel behind it that was dry embossed with the Swiss Dots folder.  This is a small note card, finished card size is 5" x 3.5."

Thanks for taking the time from your busy weekend to visit my blog! 

Smiles,
