Very Versailles stamp set made to make a pretty sympathy card in unusual colours and using Stampin' Up! products

Very Versailles sympathy card

Today I am sharing a sympathy card made using the pretty Very Versailles stamp set. The images in the set are so fine and dainty, I love them.

To recreate the Very Versailles card, you will need:

Terracotta Tile card base – 8 ¼” by 5⅞” – scored and folded on the long side at 4⅛” – Rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded upper right corner
Smoky Slate – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper right corner –for the inside
Whisper White – 3” by 2 “

 Using Terracotta Tile ink, I stamped the lovely delicate spray of leaves down the right- hand side of the Smoky Slate layer.

I added the lovely scripty image over top of the leaves using Smoky Slate ink,

The Smoky Slate panel was added to the larger Whisper White panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. At this point I wrapped a piece of the lovely Terracotta Tile Ornate Garden Ribbon around the panel, adhering it on the back with Sellotape.

The whole layer was then added with the liquid glue to the Terracotta Tile card base.

I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set onto the small panel of Whisper White in Terracotta Tile ink and cut it out using the Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine and the Stitched Shapes Dies. The oval was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I added a bow using the same ribbon and a trio of Elegant Faceted Gems to complete the card.

So, so pretty. I hope you like it.
