Embossed Sympathy Card

My husband’s uncle passed away suddenly, and I needed to make several sympathy cards for his family.

I made this card with two of my favorite stamp sets.  The background was made with a stamp from the “Inspiration Mosaic” set by Gina K Designs, and the greeting and floral branch were both from the “Thoughts and Prayers” set by Stampin’ Up.  The images were heat embossed on Gina K Pure Ivory card stock with Versamark Ink and Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder.  The background panel was embossed with a 5×7″ folder called Basketweave by Darice.  The ivory panels were matted on Gina K Kraft card stock.

I used my MISTI to initially help me line up the stamps where I wanted them and then was able to stamp multiple times if needed to insure I had a perfect image before adding the embossing powder.  Also, I needed to make a number of these cards, and I was able to duplicate my design easily with the MISTI.  

Thanks for checking out my card project.
