I've used the beautiful Fabulous Florets stamp set, opting to make the leaves my splash of colour and keeping everything else black and white. I felt it needed a bit of extra detail so I added a pierced border.
The flowers were stamped on scrap card stock, cut out and mounted on dimensionals - I don't think I'll ever get fed up with doing this! The sympathy sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes which has to be one of my most-used sentiment sets of all time.
Here's what you'll need to make this card
Stamps: Fabulous Florets, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Ink: Certainly Celery, Black Stazon
Card stock: Whisper White
Other: Essentials paper piercing pack, piercing tool, stamp-a-majig

I don't normally put music videos on my blog but I had to make an exception in this case: I like Nat Jay's song but the crafted video is absolutely adorable - do watch it and tell me what you think. Look out for the cute phone and the bit where he makes her the heart-shaped biscuits and brings them round - and the way the tree comes alive! Thank you to my lovely daughter for sharing it with me.
Have a happy weekend,
A perfect sympathy card Vicky...lovely stamps great splash of colour
