Garden Swirls Sympathy Card
I was inspired to create this “fractured card” design by Gerry who has posted quite a few. HERE is one of my favorites of hers! Thanks for the inspiration, Gerry!!
I decided to go with 1/8″ strips and a 1 3/4″ square for my greeting panel. The patterned paper I used is Addison Blue Garden Swirls (#643703) from K & C Company (which I’ve had in my stash for years) along with white and Recollections dark teal (?) textured card stock (no name). The greeting was cut with the “With Sympathy” die by My Craft Project. The white panel was embossed with the Subtle EF from Stampin’ Up (retired).
HERE is a video on how to make a fractured card.
Thanks for checking out my card project!

Very pretty. I never thought of putting the square toward the bottom. I like it there. The swirly paper makes a great background.

Hi Lisa. I found your blog because I was looking for clear directions for a wiper card. Boy I found them. Your directions were excellent. I watched 6 YouTube videos. None of them were clear. They made their cards out of dark paper and you couldn’t see what they were doing. Unfortunately their spoken directions were not very clear either. I signed up for your blog and Pinterest. Do you do YouTube videos? Thanks again cindy

Thank you so much for visiting my site and for your kind comments! I do not do videos, although I’ve thought about it from time to time. (Figuring out the filming and editing aspects of it is what’s holding me back.) I do love to teach though (I’m a retired 5th grade teacher), and I teach card making lessons in person (locally). And I provide instructional posts occasionally, as you discovered. Thanks again for you interest, and thanks for following my site!
