(2011 Card #61) Sympathy

Sympathy card made for a dear friend of mine who just lost her sister to cancer.
Focal image & sentiment stamps are from GinaK Designs Framed Sentiments by GinaK.
I heat embossed with black EP.  I colored with Copics.
     For the tone on tone  background I followed  Gina K's Tutorial for using Impressabilities and Stenciling with Impressabilities used Spellbinders Impressabilities Fleur De Lis was first inked gently by daubing (they are very fragile & will bend if you try to rub ink on) with Versamark then on top of that I daubed ColorBox Canary then Ochre.  I ran yellow paper with the Impressabilities (ink side down on the paper) through my Cuttlebug with an embossing pad. I then added clear EP & heat embossed.  For the focal I also inked with the same Impressabilities without using the Versamark  & no heat embossing on the same yellow paper, then cut out with Spellbinders Fleur De Lis dies.   Accented with pink ribbon from Michaels.
