SC528 Sending Love & Sympathy

Hi Again Stampers!!

Here is another quick sympathy card that I created from scraps this past weekend using the Splitcoaststampers’ SC528 Sketch Challenge (see details here and thegallery here).

Again, if you have not already done so, I hope you will find the time to visit the above site to check out the wonderful Design Team samples as well as the wonderful gallery!

To create this card:

I already had the Pool Party background panel embossed with the retired Finial Press Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder as well as the focal image stamped and colored from a previous project.

Mount the focal image onto a piece of Pool Party cardstock, trim and mount onto a piece of Island Indigo cardstock.

Ink the retired Notable Notions script stamp using Island Indigo Classic Ink and stamp repeatedly on a 2 ¼” square of Pool Party cardstock, mount onto a piece of Island Indigo cardstock, trim and mount on an angle behind the layered focal image.

Stamp the sentiment using Island Indigo Classic Ink onto Whisper White cardstock, trim and mount onto Island Indigo cardstock, create the “photo” corners  with a  1” Square Punch and mount the corners to the panel. 

*** To create the "photo" corners, punch the corner edge of the punch on the corner of the cardstock, toss the punched piece, move the punch up a bit and punch again- this will give you the square "photo" corner, angle the edges with your scissors and you are done :-) ***

Adhere the layered sentiment to the embossed Pool Party background panel, mount onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock and add the panel of retired World Spectacular Designer Series Paper (DSP) with the paper “lace” border.

Mount the entire panel to the Island Indigo card base and add the focal image using Stampin’ Dimensionals® along with the Pearls to the photo corners to finish off the card.
