Sympathies/Avec sympathie

      I have a card to show you today that I made for my mother to send to her aunt from Gatineau, Quebec.

     The card and envelope was bought at Michaels. It is from the Recollections "Value Pack Blank Cards and Envelopes". There are 50 cards and envelopes. I bought the white, vanilla and black. 
    
     The  card measures 5 in X 6.5 in.  The base is black cardstock from my stash and cut at 1/4 in smaller than the card.  Then I added a Very Vanilla cardstock from Stampin' Up.  I cut  and glued a Kraft triangular piece of cardstock on the left side. I added a piece of black satin ribbon from Stampin' Up.  The stamp I used is from the "Just Believe" set from Stampin' Up. I stamped the image and the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black. I framed them with Kraft and black cardstock.  To finish off the card I added three gems on the upper right corner.  I also stamped the image on the envelope.

      I finished off the inside because I still had some leftover cardstock. I first layered with the Kraft cardstock and then added two pieces of black. I used a MS border on one of them. I cut out a Spellbinders Nestabilities Label Ten to be able to write a message.

 Till we talk again!
