Hi Stamping Friends,
Today I found myself in need of a sympathy card. I decided to use Techno Stampers Monday Lunchtime Sketch TSSC248 to get me going.
I started with Very Vanilla card stock. I added another layer of Very Vanilla that is embossed using the Big Shot and the Square Lattice Embossing Folder. I like to use the Multipurpose Liquid Glue when I use this Folder. There's so much texture, I feel it needs a liquid glue to hold it nicely in place.
From the first time I saw the Comfort Cafe Designer Series paper, it, I loved it, so I chose to use it for the next layers. Both elements have a mat of Midnight Muse card stock. On the lower piece, I added a Very Vanilla Seam Binding Ribbon bow, wrapping the tails to the back. I also used the Multipurpose Liquid Glue to attach these two elements to the embossed layer. SNAIL Adhesive was used to attach the Comfort Cafe to the mats.
I stamped an image from the Serene Silhouettes Stamp Set in Midnight Muse Classic Ink on Very Vanilla card stock. Next, I die cut the image using the new Ovals Collection Framelits from the Spring Catalog. I die cut a larger one in Midnight Muse to use as a mat. The mat is attached to the card front using SNAIL. The image panel is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals. I added three Jewels Basic Pearls to the focal image.
Serene Silhouettes has such beautiful images, suitable for many occasions. I've used it for a 50th Anniversary Card HERE. Take a look! Check out some of the other products I used as well.

How soft and pretty this is! I love how you kept the main image as a silhouette and then just added some pearls on this to dress it up! Thanks for joining us for the Technostamper Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge!
