To create this Sympathy card for our Something Old/Something New challenge, I combined a sentiment stamp (Through the Trees by PTI) that I have had for well over a year (and had yet to use) with one of my new Parisian Accents Spellbinders dies.

I started by creating a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inch base card from Buff Ivory Cardstock. I then border punched white cardstock and adhered it to the front of the card. On top of that I layered Lunch Bag Kraft Cardstock and patterned paper. I also die cut Lunch Bag Kraft Cardstock and white cardstock and layered it to create the focal point for the card, as well as a pretty place to stamp my sentiment for this clean and simple card.
