One never likes to have to make these cards and this was is for a dear friend who lost her mother. This card qualifies for the Nuetrals challenge ( CAS262) as well. It is VERY CAS for me :-)
This paper was so pretty and it spoke to me and I did little to distract from it. The roses appear applied but they are raised and glossy and part of the paper right from the stack. I applied some dots of glossy accents to the center of the rose and also to the spent bud. I cut the Cheery Lynn Design die in Soft Suede and also used Soft Suede for the card itself. I added 3 of the metal accents and dotted the i in with by punching two of the smallest hand punches for circles and then added a bit of Glossy Accents to that as well.(The die does not come with the dot for the i)
Thank you for taking a look!

Oh, this is a simple one for you, but sometimes we need to let the paper do the talking, right! Gorgeousness....beautifully designed flowers with your glossy accents and the sentiment looks great too~

Your paper is exquisite! What a gorgeous card you designed with it by adding your embellishments and glossy accents! The roses appear to be fussy cut on this.

Absolutely beautiful. This dp is so lovely and so perfect for a sympathy card. One never wants to have to make these, but I'm sure your friend will feel all the love you put into making it for her.
