Clearly Sentimental About Sympathy

Before I get to my sample today please join me in wishing
Kim - a.k.a the MFT Lady a very, very happy birthday! 

We hope you'll all join us at tonight's
New Release Cocktail Party on our Forum on Splitcoast Stampers!
The festvities begin at 8pm EST, with the doors opening at 10pm for some shopping.  

Today I have a sample of this month's Triple Scoop Set - Clearly Sentimental about Sympathy. It isn't my normal "cutesty" type card, but it is one that every cardmaker, sooner or later, will need to make.

And while they aren't fun to give, you want to make sure that you're giving something thoughtful, elegant, and tasteful.  I love that this set has so many things to say, when really, there is nothing you can say.  You know what I mean, right?

I went for a very quiet, uncluttered layout here, I've stamped the sentiment to a round panel, matted it and added it to a fairly clean cardbase.  I've added a strip of the new Die-namics Solid Bracket Border cut from a woodgrain pattern.






I added just a simple Seam Binding Bow all scrunchy for a soft vintage touch.  I love the understated effect of this bracket border, I added it with just one row of zig-zag stitching.  I think I'll be using this one a lot, its nice and clean looking. 

Be sure to check the MFT Blog today for a full list of participating designers!
