To arrive at the embossed pattern you
see on the card, I took a rectangular piece of white paper and faintly
marked the center of each side. I scored the paper from mark to mark
creating a diamond design. Then I folded along each scored line and
placed the folded paper in an embossing folder and ran it through my
Cuttlebug. Once unfolded, you see this interesting pattern with the
diamond in the center. I used a digital image from Bugaboo Stamps with just a touch of color on the flowers to match the background CTMH Dream Pop paper.
I will post this card to the following challenges:
Cards in Envy Challenge - Layers
Aud Sentiments Challenge #85 - Sympathy/Thinking of You
Crafty Ribbons Challenge #54 - Anything Goes with a Ribbon
Paper Crafting Journey Challenge - Punches and/or Die Cuts
And here are the 4 cards we made yesterday at Joyce's Close to My Heart Card Class:

I understand how you feel about the need to make a sympathy card Debi - I am sorry the need arose. I really like what you did with the embossed diamond in the middle - very creative. Thanks for sharing your project in the Sympathy Challenge at Aud Sentiments.
