Mini Slimline Embossed Sympathy Card

 


Almost as soon as I got this embossing slimline folder - like 18 months ago - I embossed this gold pearl card stock. I oooooohed.  I ahhhhhhhed. And I put it in my 'in progress' bin to make into a finished card. Then promptly forgot about it, ha ha.

When I was flipping through the bin I pulled it out and decided to make a sympathy card with it. I cut the embossed panel down to fit on my Mini Slimline card base (3.5 x 6") then added some gold foiled bee stickers and a stamped sentiment on a label. The stamens got brushed with Wink of Stella and the card front was finished. Those gold bees show up so much better in real life ... in still shots they look brown rather than gold foiled and shiny.


Here is a peek at the inside ...


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.
