Rooted in Nature Sympathy card

We all need sympathy cards when we least expect it.  I've got a lot of texture and dimension going on with this one, but I still think it's not too jazzy for a sympathy card.

I used two of the deep textured embossing folders - Tufted for the main background, and then the new Tin Tile for the circle.  That circle just needed a little something extra so it wasn't so plain.

The leaves in the Rooted in Nature set match the Nature's Poem designer series paper perfectly.  I also pulled the colors directly from the patterned paper - Petal Pink and Blackberry Bliss.  Who would have known then look great together?

When I made a card with a dark base like this, I always put a white/vanilla/crumb layer on the inside for my writing.
