Aqua Vine with Flowers

I copied from last week's card for a delicate sympathy design, changing the colors and sentiment, and using flowers instead of berries.  

Card details:

  • Card stock is Papertrey Ink (PTI) winter wisteria (light purple) and stamper's select white.
  • Patterned paper is from PTI aqua mist (light aqua) pattern pack (tone-on-tone prints - retired). 
  • The sentiment "with deepest sympathy" is from PTI little labels (retired), and the vine and flowers are from PTI withsympathy (retired), stamped with PTI Hawaiian shores (medium aqua) and winter wisteria inks
  • I added the flower centers with a turquoise Copic multiliner pen.

  • Dies are from Altenew leaf frame cover (retired) and PTI my mother, my friend (large label).  I layered the two identical leaf frame die cuts, with one of them turned 180 degrees.  
  • The sentiment "just because" is from PTI keep it simple: just because (retired), and the leaves are from Altenew wings of hope, stamped with PTI summer sunrise and terra cotta tile inks
