A masculine sympathy card was needed recently and, if you're a card maker, you know that masculine cards can be challenging. But . . . I have found that a nature theme is always a perfect choice! Actually, trees and leaves never disappoint--for men or women--although I tend to gravitate to flowers for the ladies.
The tree image that I used is from Stampin' Up!'s Snow Front stamp set, and that fun background is the retired Weathered stamp. My sentiment and leafy stem are from Simon Says Stamp!'s Sketched Flowers set. It's difficult to tell from the photo, but the Very Vanilla layer was embossed with the Pinewood Planks embossing folder. When all was said and done, I really liked all of the texture created by the embossing and multiple layers in assorted shapes and sizes.
Want to see more sympathy cards that I've created? Just type "sympathy" in the search box in the top left corner above my blog banner. 😊
