With sympathy

A friend of my mother's commissioned me to make a sympathy card for her. The recipient is a woman who is a card maker so I wanted to make something really special.  I decided to use soft muted colours instead of grey/purple which is what I've tended to use before. Here's what I came up with:

Photobucket


Supplies
Paper - PTI stamper's vintage cream,Basic Grey Curio patterned paper
Stamps - PTI Mega Mixed Messages (sentimennt)
Ink - SU cholcolate chip, PTI vintage tea dye duo
Accessories - Curio layered pop sticker, vintage lace, sewing machine, paper doily, wrinkle ribbon, glitter button, embroidery thread, foam tape, glue dots
