Sympathy Monochromatic Faux Wax Seal Card

It's never a card you want to make, but a sympathy card is one of the most important cards you can send. I made a few of these cards so that I can have them on hand and send them when it's most needed. The mint and gold color palette is perfect for any occasion.

Let's start with the background. I like to keep sympathy cards clean, but layered. Striking, but not excessive. I used my Dip-N-Dab Ink Pouncers to blend Pistachios-A-Plenty Hybrid Ink over the Bursting Bouquet 6x6 Stencil onto a white panel. I used the largest die from the Mixed Scallop Rectangle Dies to cut out the stenciled background and then also cut out two additional rectangles with smaller dies so that I could stack them together. I blended Pistachios-A-Plenty Hybrid Ink over the middle sized rectangle to create a custom colored cardstock to perfectly match my ink blending. 

The great thing about the Sealed With Comforting Wishes 4x6 Stamps is that you can stamp multiple seals at once. The die cuts out an entire row of 3 seals at once, too! I stamped a row of seals along with a sentiment with embossing ink, heat embossed with gold powder, and then cut them out with the Sealed With Good Wishes Coordinating Dies. I trimmed down the sentiment into a strip and used foam tape to add the seals and sentiment to the middle of the smallest rectangle. I stacked and layered all of the pieces together with a mix of foam tape and liquid adhesive, and this card is done!
