Cowboy Sympathy Card
Making a personalized sympathy card is wonderful therapy. It preserve memories of some of the things that we miss about that person as well as cope with their absence. This card is for our cousin who loved being a cowboy in his spare times. This picture is of him being honored as a Grand Marshal of the Lewiston Roundup Rodeo.
I made this easel card using the Heartfelt Creations Dogwood paper and Dogwood Flower dies. The flowers were made with the white LeCrea Flower sheet and I colored each petal with mint green Prima Marketing Oil Pastels before using an iron to curl the petals. I used the Beacon 3 In 1 Advanced Glue to apply US Artquest Mini Ribbit green Prills in the center of each flower. The sentiment on the front is from the gorgeous Heartfelt Creations Courage and Strength stamp set. I stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used a NUVO glue pen on "God" and applied NUVO gold glitter.
Make sure to use heavy cardstock for the easel frame before the patterned paper. I found that if you don't do this and add flowers, the easel part of the card will droop due to the weight.
Cut a 6" x 12" cardstock and score at 3" and 6" and fold the score lines. This is what it may look like gluing or using Prima Marketing 1" double-sided adhesive tape to adhere the front of the card to the fold. I have a tutorial on how to make this easel card attached to a box: https://hillfarmcards.blogspot.com/2017/10/tutorial-on-easel-card-with-drawer.html
