I stamped in opposite corners on the panel from the center of one of the Pierced Feature Frames. Then I stamped the sympathy sentiment on a matching die cut in Versafine Clair Acorn & colored the leaves with green Zigs using a water brush. I wasn't happy with the white, so gave it a very light green wash. After splattering with a brown Zig, I stacked the die cut 3 high & glued it to the center. Bold Borders: Foliage was die cut & colored with the same green Zigs. I used textured brown cardstock as a mat & attached the sentiment rectangle with fun foam to the center.
I'm also entering ATSM.
Next is an inlaid die cut card using SSS Flower Cluster die & a sentiment from SSS Hello Beautiful.
Can't see in the photo, but the little dots in the flower centers are covered in clear Pico Embellisher. Decided to keep it simple & just tied on black & white twine. I saved most of the leftovers for another card. I'm entering SSS Flickr 121 & Double D.
