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.

Betty, this is such a classy looking card. I like it all, but will mention especially the nestie layer, and the way you sponged and used darker and lighter stamping.
