Vintage Sympathy

I have seen many beautiful vintage looking cards and wanted to give it a try myself.  I needed a Sympathy card, not my favorite to make, but the recipient will know it's made from the heart!

The Very Vanilla panel was first stamped with the flourish from Everything Eleanor stamp set.  I used Sahara Sand stamped off once.  Then I added the watermarks from French Foliage stamp set along with the script both in Sahara Sand stamped off once.  Next I sponged around the edges and some what onto the card with Crumb Cake.  Used the distressing tool to rough up the edges and then sponged the rough edges with Crumb Cake.  The Wisteria Wonder panel was also distressed and sponged with Elegant Eggplant.  I stamped the stems with Lucky Limeade and then added a touch of Gumball Green with the marker to give it some dimension with a little highlighting from a white gel pen.

Thanks for stopping by :-)
