Sympathy and Prayers

This card is for today's Splitcoaststampers Inspiration Challenge - IC321- a site called Everything Turquoise. My inspiration is from this picture of a beautiful duvet and sham set, and the orchid on the table beside it: http://www.everythingturquoise.com/2011/12/mia-duvet-sham-set.html.

I sprayed a piece of white cardstock with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Patina and then dry embossed it with an embossing folder from Darice. Then I sanded the embossing to bring out the white design. The shimmer doesn't show up in the picture, but in real life, it's quite lovely.

The stamp is from Hero Arts...it's called "Potted Plant"...it's one of my favorites. I stamped it with white pigment ink and heat embossed it with detail white embossing powder on teal dp.

The sentiment, which reads "sending sympathy and prayers..." on the outside, and "...to heal your heart." on the inside is from Stampin' Up's "Petite Pairs" set.

Got the pretty white polka dot ribbon in a shipment of all white ribbon from

Really Reasonable Ribbon Club...want to thank you ladies at SCS for turning me on to this club through a forum mentioned in the newsletter a while back. Love the quality of these ribbons...no, I don't work for them, just a very satisfied customer!!
