I needed one of those cards we all dread making - a sympathy card. Luckily I had a container filled with flowers and leaves I'd cut previously so this card came together quickly.
The leaves and flowers were cut using the Tim Holtz Funky Foliage die set, the Sentiment was cut from off-white card stock using the Winnie and Walter Big, Bold and Comfort set and coloured with Orange and Purple Alcohol Markers and I used the Tim Holtz 3D Woodgrain Texture Fades Folder to emboss a piece of Kraft card stock which I then lightly distressed with Gathered Twigs DI. The more I use this embossing folder, the more I love it!
