CAS Sympathy card

(ETA: I was in the top 5 at SPCC with this card)

I do like how this card turned out, but if I was making it again I'd do a couple of things different!  First off I'd have the tree further down the 'grass' (looks a bit odd 'floating') and I would have stamped the whole thing in brown ink to make the sentiment a bit softer.
I stamped the little flowers onto the orange DP and cut them out, and yes it took ages and was really fiddly!

Colour combo from SPCC #56
Sketch from Sweet Sunday #77

Your Next Stamp challenge #20 Flower Power (mine are only little but they're ever so nice! LOL!)

Supplies:
Stamps: Main image from Practicing Creativity Designs Barefoot Summer ; sentiment from Simon Says
Paper: An oldie from my stash
Accessories: copic markers; blue gems and flowery ribbon from stash; martha stewart punch

Lynne, I think your sympathy card is beautiful. The tree placement just looks like the tree is in the background to me and there is bare ground between it and the grass. Not odd at all. Your colors are beautiful. Anyone receiving this would feel comforted knowing you cared to make such a lovely card for them.

Lynne-
Adorable card. All the cutting out really paid off. I really like how you used the punch pattern for the grass....very cute.

Thank you for joining us this week at SPCC.

Hugs,
