For Toni's Cut and Snip WTUI challenge.
I don't often make 6 of anything, but my SIL requested a dozen sympathy cards. I thought of doing four each of three designs, and then decided that six of each would build my supply up too.
Stamped the vase image on medium and light card.
Coloured the one on the medium card, and all the florals on the light card (plus an extra bottom right flower for each card). Masked the vase, reverse masked the card and sponged with tea dye, then stamped with Hardwood in Vintage Photo. Removed the mask and added the fussy-cut flowers with Pinflair glue for dimension, after die-cutting each piece. Matted onto kraft, and then a white base.

Beautiful cards! Ironically, I just colored several cards with this image when I was on vacation earlier this week. I love that you used the hardwood BG stamp - really adds to the card. I've also never fussy-cut the flowers. Never crossed my mind, but I will certainly consider it next time. TFS!

Oh my goodness Sabrina these sympathy cards are gorgeous. Wonderful flowers and layers. Sadly I have needed so many sympathy cards this year and so I have been building my stash too. Good for you getting several made at once that is a great way to build our stashes when others ask for some cards. That is what I have been doing this year to crank out some cards and even my complex cards I have made more than 1 at a time to build my stash and fill orders.
