Roses For Sympathy Card

I have made a pretty roses for sympathy card using the Boutique Blossoms stamp set and dies and the Berry Botanicals Designer Vellum.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

I created the roses for sympathy card using the following supplies:

Blackberry Bliss card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside
Berry Botanicals Vellum – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Scrap Basic White

 

I used a little Seal Adhesive to tack down the panel of Berry Botanicals Vellum to one of the Basic White panels. I love that this vellum is so thick that you can’t see the adhesive through it.
