Tree Punch Sympathy Card

Sometimes less is more, which is true in this next sympathy card. The only ink used in this card is in the label. The rest of the card is simply punched and embossed. 

The colors I used for this sympathy card are a little bolder than I normally would use. But I really like the contrast and texture from the embossing folders.
