This card is for today's Feature Stamper Challenge(FS13! Congratulations, Nancy!!! What an amazing gallery. Literally thousands of cards to choose from. Here is the one I chose to CASE.
I am using two sets that will be released October 1st from ODBD called With Heartfelt Sympathy and With Deepest Sympathy.
I kept the basic layout and design and even made my card base the same. I did choose to use soft suede instead of chocolate chip as my colors.
I kept the lightly stamped background panel even though I used a different image. Same for the cattails and scripture on my card. This card is very small. It measures 4 1/2" long and 2 7/8" high.
Instead of using gold pen around the edges, I opted for a soft suede base for my card and used some small gold pearls in the corners along with some stenciling. I finished with one band of ribbon and a bow instead of three bands of ribbon like Nancy.
I must say this was the fastest card I have ever made. It is also very CAS for me. This card is also for the BVC09.

This is so beautiful! How come your cards look so amazing using only these neuturals? If it were mine, it would be as boring as dirt! LOL You did a fantastic case!

What a beauty! I love the bg stamping, and the overstamping of the cattails. The shape of this card is fabulous, and so is the sentiment. Betty, this is so lovely.
