Today's card again features the Labels Collection Framelits Dies, this time it's a sympathy card ...

Sorrowful_framelits_dies_pad

Stamps:  Apothecary Art, Thoughts & Prayers

Paper:  Cardstock - Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Pool Party, Poppy Parade, Confetti White

Ink:  Classic - Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade

Tools & Accessories:  Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine; Labels Collection Framelits Dies; Lace Border Punch; Paper Snips; Blender Pen; Paper-Piercing Tool; Mat Pack; Vintage Trinkets; Adhesive - SNAIL, Stampin' Dimensionals

Trimming around the stamped image with Paper Snips left just a peek of Poppy Parade Cardstock visible while the other layers were cut with the Framelits.  This paper trimming is easy to do with any of the images from the Apothecary Art Stamp Set since all of them have an outline to follow.

All of the supplies for this project can be purchased at my online store, or contact me at padrybala@fuse.net for personal assistance with your order.
