This week our Featured Stamper, Gayle (aka fostergayle), has given us lots of unique designs and colorful cards to inspire. Unfortunately, I am in need of a masculine sympathy card and I thought this card fit the bill perfectly: Embossed Sympathy on Parchment by fostergaylej at Splitcoaststampers
This is a pretty close CAS as I kept Gayle's colors, embossed white panel, leaves and theme. To create the layer around the label, I dry embossed the die onto the dark green cs and then cut around the embossing. I usually cut the edge from the inside label, but I wanted this label to be larger.
Congratulations Gayle on being selected this week's Featured Stamper. You have a wonderful Gallery and I hope you enjoy the many cards made in your honor this week. TFL.
Just a note: for some reason I could NOT get the green cs to look green. It is very dark but it looks black here and it truly is a beautiful shape of dark green. Sigh.

I love this! I am looking for ideas for sympathy cards for my card ministry project and this is just wonderful. Very classy but not over the top. Great CASE of the original. So well done.

A beautiful masculine sympathy card! Actually quite a versatile design; I can see this as a birthday, thinking of your or almost anything with a change out of sentiment. I too have difficulty photographing dark colours. They have a tendency to come out black on the screen. Lovely tribute to the FS!

This is simply stunning, and very elegant. This could be used for a man or a woman. Unfortunately I seem to be needing more an more sympathy cards. So this is going in my faves.

Fabulous case. Love the embossing with the center framed sentiment and the die-cut foliage. So nice in the green and white. Sorry that hear that you need a sympathy card. Hugs!
