This card is for the Featured Stamper Challenge FS90. What a baeautiful gallery SpeedyStamper has. I chose her Garden Wedding card to case but I needed to make a sympathy card so I changed the sentiment. I also changed the color of the leaves, the ribbon and added the hat pin. I did not use glitter but used a Copic Spica pen to give a more subtle shimmer on the flower petals.
I stamped the flower once on the base and then stamped it again on Shimmery White, added some shading and cut it out to give it more dimension. I am pleased with the card but do you think it is OK for a sympathy card? Thanks for looking.

This is stunning. Very elegant and simply sophisticated.
