Day 127: With Sympathy Dragonfly Card

my supervisor's father-in-law passed away yesterday.  i thought it would be nice to make a card for him and his family from all of us at the office.

i inspired by another card from the Stampington "Take Ten" magazine.

i didn't have a pretty scalloped punch, so i used the Stampin' Up decorative label punch.  at first, i tried it with the punch itself, but the dragonfly was too big, so i used the paper that i punched out.  the inverse looked nice, so i cut it to size and added that to the center of the card.  cut a piece of fancy blue tissue paper-like cardstock to a 1-inch strip and placed it to the top left of the card.  the dragonfly is a felt sticker i got in a Swap-bot swap.  it's attached with a glue dot.  sentiment is from Stampin' Up Teeny Tiny Wishes set and inked in black and punched out of plain white cardstock with the Stampin' Up word window punch (just to add a little more dimension.  added 3 self-adhesive silver rhinestones to the vertical paper piece (instead of the ribbon in the magazine).

i hope that my supervisor gets some comfort from the card and our words.
