Hexagon Sympathy - Stampin' Up! Heartfelt Hexagon

 Unfortunately I needed a few sympathy cards recently so decided to make 6 of them so I could send out the 3 I needed and then have some in my stash for the future.  Hopefully I don't have to send them any time soon. Sympathy cards are never fun to make but I still want to make them nice.  I decided on a monochromatic card with some layering for interest.

  I used the layout from the Paper Players from last week which is now closed. I started a Basic White thick card base then added a layer of Nests of Winter DSP in this pretty Pool Party pattern.  Pulling in more Pool Party I added a Deckled Rectangle die cut and a bough punch for each side.

  The frame and sentiment are from the retired Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set and are stamped in Pool Party ink.  It's punched out with the Heartfelt Hexagon punch and then popped on dimensionals on the card front.

  I stamped the little flower cluster from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Pool Party, colored the leaves with Pool Party blends markers then die cut it and popped it on the edge of the label with a dimensional.  Finally I added a tiny adhesive pearl to the center of the flower.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?

All of the current supplies used to make this card can be purchased in my ONLINE STORE.
