Not sure why the bright and funky Oompa Inspirations turned a fresh looking bag covered with leaves into this sympathy card, but that is what the inspiration challenges are all about!
I took inspiration from the leaves (in photo #3) and used every one of them from the PTI stamp set on this card, most to build the background, and then the one final sprig is handcut and glossed. I secured the stems directly to the card but popped up each one of the leaves on the tip for a bit of flow.
Thanks for taking a peek!

It's beautiful Edna. I love the warm black in contrast with the softer beige. Inspiration is not questionable, it just is, I suppose. Excellent card my friend. TFS

It's so beautiful and elegant! I LOVE the leaves in the background with the hand cut stem on top...that's some mighty fancy cuttin! The ribbon treatment is divine, and I love the simple color combo, too. You make a fantastic card!!
