Sending You Strength

I needed to make a sympathy card, and since My Favorite Things Deepest Sympathy is one of my go to stamp sets for those types of cards, I decided to use the Wednesday Sketch Challenge.

Only one problem … no square die cuts in my MFT Stash … so I had to get creative.  What I did have is the Rectangle Peek-a-Boo Window and a Scalloped Rectangle from my Die-Namics Blueprints 27 set.

Since I felt like I needed at least one more rectangle to be true to the sketch, I used some 1/2 strips of golden cardstock to create the third frame element.  I finished with Eyelet Outlet Paper Flowers & a Champagne Gem Center.  I thought with these neutral tones it was okay to include a flower on a masculine design.

I'm also linking-up at the Anything Goes Challenge at Simon Says Stamp.
