Unfortunately, tonight I needed a sympathy card ... so I took my inspiration from the Paper Smooches SPARKS Picture Perfect Challenge photo.
I liked the orange with the bluish grey and the gold metal tacks on the headboard, so that is what I incorporated into my design.
I started with some Orange Patterned paper from my Woodbrooke Road Studio Calico Kit. I randomly stamped the dotted circle from Potpourri down the card front, overlapping the design. I finished with a Sympathy sentiment from Good Gab and some layered blooms with a gold brad.
I also used the layout from Less is More, but I strayed a bit too far from their desired Clean & Simple design to link-up.
Lovely card, Stef. I'm sure whoever receives it will be really touched. Thank you for popping by my blog! Hope your week was awesome. :)
