I used some new A Muse products here: The gorgeous new sentiment, Deepest Sympathy, the Leaves Trio stamp, and the gorgeous blue shimmer paper.
I also used one of my first A Muse purchases and a stamp that I use all the time, Big Block. It's a solid block and is the perfect background when your CAS card or OLC needs a little somethin'. For this project, I sponged light blue chalk ink on Big Block, focusing on the edges. After that, I masked off the edges of the rectangle with post-it notes and stamped the leaves.
The colors are bright for a sympathy card, but I think all of the white space and touches of black make it still appropriate.
