So Very Sorry: Sympathy Cards

Hola!

Nobody likes to make sympathy cards, 

unfortunately this week I needed two.

I had previously created some backgrounds with Distress Oxide Inks and

decided to use some of my Background dies

for a clean look.

To step it up I did a technique from Jennifer McGuire,

using glossy accents to create a stained glass look.

Check out the stained glass look.

The stamp set I used is from Stampin Up: So very.

I also used stitched banners to create the sentiment flag.

I added a few pearls from my stash as well.

I hope you liked them, they inspire you, and may you never need them.

Happy day!

Enjoy,

~~Yar
