I needed a sympathy card and thought the Flowers in Silhouette embossed in black would look good. First I lightly stamped the En Francais b/g stamp on yellow card stock, then I used versamark and black embossing powder for the silhouette flowers on top. I went with a yellow and black color combo and also used the En Francais b/g stamp on the circular greeting in a light yellow and stamped the greeting in black over the top of it. The yellow card stock had great lined texture already~which you probably can't see in the photo~, so I opted not to use an ef. I stamped a b/g flower stamp in black on the bottom portion of the card and added a ribbon. I paper pierced the first main panel of the card and popped up on dimensionals. I also popped up 2 of the image layers on dimensionals as well as the greeting.
It's never a good time to make a sympathy card; but, unfortunately, we need them to send our comfort, thoughts and prayers to those in time of need.
P.S. It was hard to get the photo right with the black and yellow colors, but I did the best I could.
Thanks so much for taking the time to look and if you have a chance, let me know what you think.

What a beautiful thing for you to do, Fruitcake: I must admit though, your photograph doesnt do the card justice! It's so so rich in those colors and so perfectly designed. You are such a thoughtful and generous with your talent. Thank you so much, Pam. And more buttons. Oh boy, now I'll be playin' with the big girls with all my new buttons! Your kindness has overwhelmed me. I have a busy weekend, but I'm going to do my best, sunshine permitting, to have this wonderful RAK uploaded tomorrow.
