With Sympathy using Leafy Frame

I'm sure you have been in this boat - you don't NEED new supplies, but you see something online and you MUST buy it! LOL So, that is what happened to me with Altenew Leaf Frame. It was fairly new on the market, but not brand new. Luckily for me, it wasn't sold out. I made several cards with it. This one uses the frame die cut twice and turned around for a fuller affect. I am entering this card in two Simon Says Stamp Challenges: Monday "Use Something New" and Wednesday "Card and Matching Envelope."

I used pale blue card stock for the base and two shades of green for the Leaf Frame. The flowers are from Altenew Sakura Blossom Set, stamped with several shades of blue ink, leaves with green. These are layering stamps with 2 or 3 layers each. "With Sympathy" is a die from Simon Says Stamp. The elegant font matches the feeling of the overall theme of this card. Finally, the envelope and background (see below) for the inside of the card were done with a stencil from Penny Black using a medium blue ink and a sentiment from Hero Arts. Dimension added to the front can be seen in the last picture. Thanks for visiting!
