Unfortunately I needed a sympathy card this week and I used the stamp set, Positive Thoughts along with the coordinating Nature’s Thoughts Dies to create today’s card.
I started with a base of Mint Macaron cardstock and then added a layer of Rich Razzleberry cardstock that I embossed using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I used the Nature’s Thoughts Dies and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to cut the Basic White rectangle
I stamped a leafy frond directly onto the Basic White rectangle in Mint Macaron ink using the stamp set Positive Thoughts. Then I stamped two more onto Basic White cardstock, also using Mint Macaron ink and cut them out using the Nature’s Thoughts Dies. I also stamped the flower in Rich Razzleberry ink and cut it out using these same dies.
I adhered the fronds and the flower to the Basic White rectangle using Multipurpose Glue. I stamped the sentiment in Rich Razzleberry ink using the stamp set Inspired Thoughts and then cut it out using the Double Oval punch. Using this same punch, I also cut a Mint Macaron scalloped oval. I layered the two piece together and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back before adhering it to the front of the card.
To complete the card, I adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and then added five Genial Gems to the front.

This is a very pretty card, Tracy. It seems I need more of these cards as I age. Thanks for the inspiration. Enjoy your day!
Thank you, Hilda. I know what you mean about needing more and more sympathy cards. After I sent this card out, I found out I needed another one.
