The first lesson for the My Favorite Things Summer School was Monochromatic designs. You use a monochromatic palette as the focal point of the card. Black is a color, right?
I die cut the six tissue boxes in white and shades of gray and black using the MFT Bedside Comfort die set. There is a folded tissue die in that set, but I made 6 little tissues from real bathroom tissue paper. I mounted them on subtle striped vellum paper which I cut with the MFT In & Out Stitched Rectangle dies. The stitching on the edge of the vellum defines the shape of the box and gives some definition. Easy to mount the vellum with glue just behind the tissue boxes. I stamped the sentiment from the MFT Deepest Sympathy stamp set in black ink.
Sympathy cards are typically easy to make since I tend to use a simple palette. The sentiments in the stamp set are amazing and help to send a sad message with style.
