Today's challenge is leaves. I used a technique where you lay your die cuts (my leaves are die cut from the same pp as on the bottom of the card), on your panel that you will emboss (the top portion of cs) and then run it through your Big Shot - it is such a cool result - your die cuts get embedded in the bottom panel! Awesome look, not sure what you call the technique. Sentiment is embossed. The rest of the card is self explanatory, I think.

I think simplicity shows best on a sympathy card and this one is exceptional. You've achieved so much texture, between the embossing and the linen-look dp on the bottom. It will be a treasured remembrance for someone special.

Embedded embossing - and darn it, it was one of the things I had meant to suggest. I'm glad you thought of it anyway, Maura. It's amazing how much more textured the leaves look than the white, even though they're exactly the same. Love the angled design, gives it a very modern, fresh feel.

These leaves are so pretty and I love the look of the technique - the dies look as though they're embedded into the panel. The asymmetrical panels look great. Faved

A beautiful card, Maura. I love the embedded embossing technique and it is one I have done a couple of times over the years. This makes such a wonderful sympathy card.
