Make My Monday Sympathy Card with Sunburst Background Thin Cut Die

 Here is a really quick card I made using a new Close to My Heart Thin Cut Die (Sunburst Background) and pretty patterned paper (Brushed). I'm submitting it to Make My Monday #148 Sympathy Theme.

The Sympathy greeting is from Sunflower Sympathy and the oval cut was Sweet Leaf Card Stock.  This is what the card looked like without the oval sentiment.

Close to My Heart offers a coordinating stamp set called Spot On Sentiments that fit perfectly over the starburst circle.
