Lily Sympathy Card

Here is a lovely sympathy card I made using the Lasting Lily stamp set and Lily Framelits.  The Lasting Lily stamp set is from the current Sale-A-Bration catalog that ends March 31st.  The Lily Framelits Dies are a special offer coordinating item only available during march.  Unfortunately, they are completely sold out.  I did want to share this beautiful card with you, though.  You could, of course, fussy cut out the images.  Putting forth a little extra effort on sympathy cards is often something we want to do for that special person who is receiving it.

Adding a few extra touches of shading gives this card a very realistic look.  The stamps themselves are part of the DistInktive line which makes images look quite photo realistic in the first place.  Coloring in the visible part of the stamen with a Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends Marker adds just the touch the flower needs.  You can color right over the stamped image and the look is perfect!
