Today I am featuring a couple of sympathy cards made by former design team member Heidi Erickson. Thanks Heidi for sending these simple cards done with DG642 our leafy branch die is slightly smaller than our stencil, but the design matches the larger stencil design LG642. Combining the die cuts with embossing paste on the word stencil is very effective and of course has an elegant simplicity which is very calming to send to a friend/family member who needs a lift at a difficult time. Heidi owns a stamp/card store in Wisconsin, ...be sure to stop by and visit her blog by clicking HERE.
This second card has the In Sympathy sentiment paste embossed in copper embossing paste (DCP). The leaf die (DG642) us cut out of a tan paper and stenciled just a bit with a distress type of ink. The nesting dies (DD001) are placed behind the leaf and "in sympathy" ribbon and are cut from patterned dark brown papers and layered on top of the creamy embossed background design which was dry embossed with the "crusade" background stencil (LX7023).
It's amazing how simple and quick these cards can be put together. I know it's a busy month for all of us, if you have time join the challenge if you don't please join us for January's monthly challenge.
Now please take the time to visit the team and see what they have been up to. Would love it if you would leave these ladies some encouragement in the way of a comment or two! Say hi! to Heidi here as well...

That copper paste looks fantastic. Just got me some gold and silver and hope to give them a test drive soon. Hugz
Heidi always has wonderful designs, and these cards are no exception!
Such appropriate designs for those difficult sympathy cards.
Lovely use of the leaf die for sympathy cards!
