With Heartfelt Sympathy

I just got my new PTI stamps and had to play!! This one is from Through the Trees and I didn't have to think twice about getting it--it flew into my shopping cart, LOL! The background image is new too--it's from Background Basics: Petal Power.

I stamped all of the images, including the sentiment (which comes with Through the Trees) On Enchanted Evening card stock with Versamark and heat embossed them with white detail embossing powder. I matted the focal image with a layer of Soft Stone card stock and popped it up on foam squares and a strip of silvery gray satin ribbon adds just enough embellishment, I think.

This card was very simple--the only thing that took any time was the embossing. And what do you know--I *can* make a card with out buttons. But I confess I did look in my stray button drawer for a suitable silver one ;-)

Thanks for stopping by! Tomorrow I'll have a new Stamp Simply challenge so be sure and check back in then!
