Sympathy in Scarlet and Gray

This is my second post today so keep scrolling down!

Papertrey's Make It Monday challenge is to use scor-tape to add glitter strips.  My first instinct was to go bright and cheerful and super-glittery, but our church card racks desperately need sympathy cards, so I decided to challenge myself.  The glitter is subtle, but it IS there running along the Smokey Shadow panel just before the scallops.  I add a little bit more to the center of the flower to bring it all together.


  • Stamps: Papertrey In Bloom, Out on the Limb (sentiment)
