This is another card for this week's sketch challenge. I used last week's color challenge colors to make this sympathy card.
For the base, I dragged the Pear Pizzazz ink pad across the front of the card until I liked the look. I then stamped the leaf randomly on the base.
I pictured this flower in the circle using partial die cutting and I like how it turned out. I actually die cut first and stamped second which is not how I usually do it. For the corner panels, I decided to use these die cuts flowers. The last thing was to stamp the sentiment and heat emboss it with clear embossing powder.
Thanks for the challenges and thanks for looking.

Just saw this one pop up. It is a beauty! I love the purple and green! That flower is a gorgeous one. All of the Altenew flowers are really lovely! Beautiful Job using the sketch.

This is so beautiful! The dark green of the background and leaf stamping is really eye catching. The purple Altenew flower (one of my favorites) is gorgeous as the focal. A fav for sure.

A great color combo and love the technique you used for your green background. That purple flower just pops!
