Sympathy Fronts

So this is the right picture....Above are the fronts I created for the Sympathy Card fronts for my Monthly Card front swap on my Fav MB. It features the Thoughts and Prayers set. I also used an embossing folder on the background paper. I did a little embossing on the edges just to give it a little more color. Then finished it all off with a ribbon. The sentiment is punched out with the oval punchm then matted on a scalloped oval and dimensionals to give it some pop.

Inside Out

August's theme for my Card Front Swap on my Fav MB is "Inside Out". We were to create a card front with a matching insert. Here is mine. I used the new Stampin' Up set called "Elements of Style". I stamped it first in Versamark, then used a sparkly embossing powder, then heated it with my SU heat tool. Afterwards I cut the piece into 3 panels. Then I matted it and matted it again. I added some ribbon, then the sentiment (also from Elements of Style) punched out with the oval punch and matted with the scallop oval.

The inside I used the same Elements Of Style stamped in Versamark. It give it a nice subtle print, not too over powering.
