Hello, Birch Press fans! Toni here with you today sharing a rather non-traditional mixed media sympathy card.

I cut out the leaves using the Memory Box Open Studio Tropical Leaves 3D Embossing Folder & Dies. Have you tried these before? Just amazing. Cutting the leaves out then embossing was super easy–look at these results!

I added a touch of color to them using Distress Oxide Peacock Feathers and Carved Pumpkin.

My entire idea for this card started with the Memory Box Open Studio Tropical Leaves 3D Embossing Folder. The leaf in the back reminded me of a feather so I used a gelli print I had pulled a few years ago (yes, years!) for which I had used Liquitex acrylic paints and a Feathers stencil by TCW.

I embossed the large BPD Kind Hearts sentiment using a Wow! Embossing Pad and Ranger Detail Fine White Embossing Powder.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card and have a great rest of your week!
