The challenge photo is amazing. Seeing these fabric pumpkins...I wish that I could sew. Serious envy setting in over here...
I was particularly inspired by the leaves and the freeflow pattern of the top pumpkin.
I used gold ink to stamp a random pattern using Leaf Prints onto a piece of 4" square Kraft cardstock. Once dry, the veins of the larger leaves were stamped with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink. I then cut this into 1" strips.
The sentiment was stamped on another 4" x 1" strip of Kraft cardstock and then embossed with gold Filigree detail powder. The strips were adhered directly to the Dark Chocolate card base leaving a small gap between each one. Rustic Jute twine was wrapped around the card a few times, tied in a bow and accented with a button.
Here's a close-up of the amazing shimmery goodness of that amazing Delicata ink. *sigh*
You can find this fab new ink HERE.
I like it! I hope you do too :)
Thanks for visiting,

Very nice sympathy card. I really like the way you made the strips of paper. Thanks for the close up shots they really show the shine.
Lovely card!
Very pretty!
gorgeous gold embossing!!
This lovely! The gold ink is amazing! I'm going to have to look for that. Cutting the paper makes it look like it's on wood planks. Very cool.
This is a beautiful card. I always have trouble with sympathy but you did a great job!
Beautiful Sympathy card. Love the design and layout of the leaves!
Just beautiful! I love the gold application especially for a sympathy card. So classy. This is a lovely take on the challenge. (And one I will probably use) Thanks :)
Beautiful card. Love the understated elegance.
i love all the strips and the embossing :)
Oh, wauw! I was admiring your first photo, loved the way you stamped the leaves and then split them into panels, but then I scrolled down and saw the close up and the gold there!!!! Gorgeous!!! I can only imagine how beautiful it must look in real life! Love it!!
Hugs, Wendy
I love this gorgeous card Barb - it was a great idea to make the paper strips and you are right - that ink is beautiful!
I love the way you cut the background into strips; must remember that. The ink is gorgeous!
Holy shimoly! I adore this! Definitely one of my favorites of the hop. Seriously stunning.
I love this card... I love how you stamped it then cut it into strips... very clever..
I really love this card and I want to thank you for introducing me to the Delicata ink... I have never seen that before. OY! I see the start of another addiction. ;) Thanks again.
Lovely!
Wow! This card is so beautiful. When I first looked at it, it seemed like you had stamped onto muslin - awesome stamping to make that effect come across!
Love the gold leaves, and that twine and button are just perfect. A beautiful card. ;-)
Beautiful - simple and elegant. Falling leaves a most suitable image for a sympathy card.
