From the moment I saw this week's sketch at Midnight Madness, this idea has been swirling around in my head. I knew I was going to use these Spellbinders leaves with this beautiful Our Daily Bread designs image but I didn't necessarily want it to be a sympathy card either. So this card shows once again how versatile these stamp sets can be. I only used a portion of the sentiment that comes with this set called With Deepest Sympathy. The beautiful colors of fall gives us another reason to Rejoice and Be Glad!!!! I embossed the Chocolate Chip layer with a Spellbinders leaf and then cut, embossed and sponged the other leaves. I stamped the image and masked the sentiment and then cut out all the Spellbinders layers. I sprayed all of those things with Gold Glimmer Mist! Wow I just love that stuff! However, I should have sprayed the background and let it dry before embossing because the pretty, deep impression sort of disappeared! Anyway, I distressed the edges of the background layers with a distressing tool, added the Olive ribbon and then put all the pieces together. The pretty gold rhinestone was the last thing to embellish this card. Thanks for taking a moment to see my card! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

I was just going through my FAVs and came upon your card. I don't know why I didn't originally post a comment - must have been in a hurry. Your card is just gorgeous...lovely colors, layout, everything!
