Sympathy Cards with Judikins Mica gloss

I recently participated in a sympathy card swap.  These are the cards I created.  I started with my Judikins Micagloss backgrounds.  I die cut them and then stamped and heat embossed the sentiment.

Opposite the sentiment I created some large purple flowers.  I used a brad to keep all the layers together and distress with Quick Quotes Powderpuff chalking ink.   I even had some purple velvety leaves to add, they complimented the micagloss background so well.  I think they turned out very pretty.  

I recently acquired this stamp as part of a collection I purchased on Craigs list.  She had many great sentiment stamps and a couple of other sympathy ones.

I used two different Frantic Stamper Stitched rectangle shaped dies, one with cut corners and one with rounded corners.  I love them both.

Ingredients:

Paper Inspirations Sympathy Calligraphy stamp

Judikins Mica Gloss and clear and black embossing powder

Frantic Stamper rounded and cut corner rectangle dies

black pigment ink

flowers and brads
