I needed a sympathy card and did not have any in my stash. I prefer to take my time and plan a pretty card but sometimes that isn’t an option. I made this one quickly with supplies I had on hand.
I pulled out some kraft card stock, the With Sympathy stamp set from Avery Elle, Glossy Accents, Hero Arts Unicorn white pigment ink pad and an old Stampendous jumbo rubber stamp I have had forever. I used the large stamp with the white ink and repeatedly stamped it on kraft card stock to create a simple background. I cut this out with the largest die from a stitched die set. Then using my Misti I aligned the sentiment and stamped it a couple times with Simon Says Stamp Intense black ink to make sure it was dark and crisp. I backed it with some black card stock, attached it to an A2 size kraft card and finished it with some glossy accents. It was really that simple. You will be amazed at how creative you can be when you are spontaneous. Give it a try!
Sympathy Card
I used my Misti to plan out my card layout. I used 
To create the look that some flowers are behind others, you need to create and use masks. To do this, stamp onto a Post-It note and then cut close to the edge of the image. Place this over the “front” image and then stamp behind. Save these masks for future use. They can be used over and over. I put them on the page from the stamp set so it all stays together.
Using 
When assembling the card I used foam tape behind the center flower and doubled the foam tape behind the bees so they would stand out a little more. Yellow polka dotted background paper made the flowers pop. A couple iridescent sequins finished off the card nicely.
