Watering Can Sympathy Card


For the 6th edition of my monthly series "Shaped Cards" I pulled out the Watering Can Fold-Its from the Stamps of Life and created a sympathy card. I knew I wanted to use this polka dot patterned paper in grey, and the rest of the card came together quickly. 

I have always loved the daisy punches from Stampin' Up (two sizes) and the coordinating stamp set. Here I stamped them in Catherine Pooler's Twilight ink and punched them out.

You can see I added Nuvo Glaze to the flower centres so they are raised and shiny, then I pulled out some greenery dies and scraps of green cardstock for the leaves. A stamped sentiment & a little bling and the card front was finished.


I trimmed off the inside back - just a sliver - along the bottom edge so the card will stand for display.


Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally.
