Sympathy Card for Challenges


Hi friends!
I unfortunately needed a sympathy card for one of my former colleagues who lost her mother this week. In the previous card that I posted I used small flowers from this Altenew Peony Bouquet stamp set heat embossed with gold on black card (stamped details with white pigment ink)... And I thought the gold heat embossing on black might work well for sympathy card so tried it this time with the largest flower and leaves from the set. The sentiment is Finnish for "warm condolences". 

I'd like to enter 
http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.fi Dimension (all my leaves and the flower are popped up with 3 d stickers for dimensional look).

    This is just stunning!! I have pinned it for future reference - I would love to CASE it. The gold against the dark card stock is gorgeous, and then using the white ink just gives this such an elegant look. Great take in the challenge, thanks so much for playing along with us this week over at the Mod Squad.

    Dear Nonni, it is great to see your elegant monochromatic card! (Sympathy cards are the most emotionally complicated) Thank you for sharing your card with Chasing Mojo blog party :) - Sweet Kobylkin
