Sympathy - Diagonal Split Panel Card

Annie’s Ink-Lings

Sympathy cards are not much fun to make, but sadly there is a need for them.  Today's card was made for a dear friend whose brother passed away.  I hope it brings a bit of comfort to her.  I want to share it with you in case you want to make one to have on hand.  Without the sympathy sentiment on the front, it would make a good thinking of you card, too.

Direction

1.  Glue the bottom layer patterned paper to the front of the card front.

2.  Working on the Top Layer Patterned Paper, mark in pencil 1 1/4″ to the left of the bottom right corner, and 2 1/2″ above the bottom right corner. Trim from the top left corner to these marks, then erase the marks. Discard the center piece or lay aside if you want to use it in center of the split.  

3.  Attach the diagonal pieces with foam tape.

4.  Your choice to do this step:  With the left-over center diagonal cut, put DS tape on the back.  Center and slide the small tip up under the flower image.  Match patterns if there are any.  Cut off excess.

5.  Stamp image, color, cut out, and attach to card at top left.  For the inside leaves: color all of them all over with Apple Green.  Shade half of each leaf with Dark Green.

6.  In the center of each flower, put a drop of Buttermilk Gloss Crystal Drops.

7.  Die cut the sympathy sentiment from white card stock and glue it on the lower left of the card.
