I was glad I had this image already colored and ready to go when I needed to make a sympathy card.
The image was heat embossed in white on watercolor paper which had the wash already painted on it. I painted the flowers with watercolors, using Shimmer Mist mixed with water, so there is a pretty shimmer to the blossoms and leaves.
The sentiment was stamped on black cs with white pigment ink and embossed with clear ep before die cutting. It was attached to the base and the image popped up on foam tape. The thin black lines are Dazzles border lines stickers.
As always, thanks for looking!

A striking card, Jody, with all the warmth of your heartfelt sympathy in the beautiful flowers. Sorry you needed a sympathy card, but good that you had such a touching image already colored to use!

Beautiful card with the soft transition of shades of pink with your wash....not easy to do. Your watercolored flowers are beautifully done as well, Jody.

OMG Jody, you get a triple WOW for this striking card. It is just so bold and pretty. The bright white sentiment along with one of my fav color combos (pink and black) sends this one right into my fav list and pinned for inspiration. The little black boarder is so perfect.
