Framed Sympathy Card

Images, card stock, inks, embossing folders
and dies are all from Stampin' Up!

This card was inspired by a sample I came across
a while back and kept in the back of my mind.
Sorry, I do not know by who or where I saw it.
I do know that it did not use Stampin' Up! images
and had several fancier die cut details.
I knew I could make a similar card with the basic layout
and the supplies I have. 

I of course had to make this project more difficult
for myself by cutting apart the frame then
reassembling it. I wanted the wood grain to
look like it would on a real frame. Had I left it 
in one piece in the embossing folder, there would
have been short sections of plank on each side.
So I cut it apart at the corners diagonally then
placed the pieces vertically in the embossing folder
so they would each have wood grain running the
length of the piece. I reassembled them
by taping them together on the backside
then mounting it to a piece of fun foam I
cut into a frame to pop it up from the card base.


Thanks for looking =)
