In between though I have made just a couple of cards.
I tried a couple of die cuts over it but in the end settled for this one. (I had wild imaginings about them swaying gently in a breeze!)
The Distress Ink background simply placed behind a stitched frame with the die cut tucked in after snipping off bits I didn't want.
The stitched circle was a recent bargain buy set from The Works and it was the perfect size for this small sentiment stamp.
I simply added another stitched square layer for a bit more depth.

After a rainy morning, the sun is out here - but boy is it still cold! Hard to believe it is May!
Hoping the sun is shining wherever you are. x

Beautiful serene card Viv...very suitable for sympathy.I do like your background. Sunny here too after a very wet start...but a chilly breeze blowing....guess we had summer!xx
This is a beautiful card Viv. I love the background colours and how you’ve blended them too. The layered squares look great and the pretty die cut flowers finish it off perfectly. I’ve bought a few dies from The Works recently and they’re fabulous, such a great price too compared with the ones from the leading brands x
This card is so right for a 'thinking' or 'sympathy' occasion and it has worked so well with the frames. The Works certainly seem to have some attractive dies from time to time, well worth calling in when passing (it would be rude not to really).
Absolutely beautiful card Viv, so perfect as a sympathy card. Not too gloomy, with a hint of hope there. Always so hard to make.

Great combination of dies and inkiness Viv. The migraine has already arrived but I'm mentally braced for what lies ahead, lets hope the lads all turn up.

Beautiful design I love the frames and colour you used Love and hugs Carole x
This is the type of design that works for any occasion and by just changing the color you could create several cards looking completely different. Thumbs up!
This card is unique and utterly beautiful! Thank you very much for joining us at Try It On Tuesday! Hugs, Susi

Your watercolor efforts look stunning as the background to this lovely die cut. It truly does look like a beautiful sunset, and what a perfect sympathy card it is. I struggle with watercolor so I'm admiring your skills! TFS
