Hi everyone. Today I made a sympathy card to send to my ex-sister-in-law and family (my nieces and nephews). She just lost her dad ... a wonderful man who I met over 35 years ago. It's a difficult time.
I used today's Muse (#63) card (by Therese Calvrid) as my jumping off point. I changed the layout slightly by removing the frame and leaving some space at the bottom of my main panel (it is flush with the top of the card). This seemed to work well with the design, which is a sponged background using a pebbles stencil that I cut with my Cameo. I die cut the leaf sprig and stamped a design to give it some interest. Although it may be hard to tell in the photo above, the sentiment banner is curved for added dimension.

Loll, I love the colours and shading you used to sponge the stencil. It makes a fabulous background for the leaf.
Another beautifully sponged background Loll and your gorgeous leaf is perfect to show it off
