Floral Sympathy Card W/ DIY Washi Tape

A friends husband recently passed away, and I wanted to make M an xtra special Sympathy Card, made from the heart.
 
I chose the word “Celebrate” and wrote with it …
“Celebrate the life you have shared with J, and look back on those memories with fondness.”
 
As often when someone passes, everyone is thinking about their passing, and not on what they have contributed to in this world.
 
I made some Washi Tape by stamping with “Coastal Cabana” on the “Very Vintage” Wheel Stamp, and rolling it onto white tissue paper, and then adhering double sided tape to the reverse of the tissue paper.
This Washi Tape can also be torn (rather than cut), and looks like the real McCoy!
This is an awesome way to make your Washi Tape match back with your project perfectly, as you are using the ink pad that you may also be using throughout your craft project.

Butterfly Bereavement Card

In the last two weeks, I have attended two funerals, so have been busy making Bereavement Cards ...

I used the Vellum throughout the card to soften the look, as this card was a Bereavement Card for Wayne's Aunties passing.

All products used are by Stampin' Up!

Cardstock used is “Basic Black” and “Whisper White”

The stamp sets used are "Wildflower Meadow", "Papillion Potpourri" and "Petite Pairs", and the Embossing Folder is "Wildflower Meadow".

The Embossing Powders used was called "Iridescent Ice" and "Black" with a little bit of “Dazzling Diamonds” mixed in for the butterflies, which were stamped onto Vellum in VersaMark, and then heat set with the Heat Tool.

I used the “Lattice” Bigz die to create the popping out of the butterflies on the inside of the card, which was folded into 1/4s.

Punches used are the "Ticket Duo Builder" and the "Decorative Label".

The Vellum over the wording on the front is stuck straight onto the cardstock with the 2-way Glue Pen.
