Sympathy Card and a Card Within a Card

I have two cards to share with you fashioned with incredible cardstock from PaperTemptress.
The first card is simple elegance. I used Black Velvet, that has an unbelievable softness to it and stamped Exotic Bloom then embossed it with clear embossing powder and adhered it to Opal Mica Metallic. Extrememly simple and very tasteful. 


The second card is actually a card within a card. I used white ink and stamped swirls on Peachy Velvet Stripes Vellum and formed a pocket and tied it with Copper 3/8 Silky Satin Ribbon. Next, using copper embossing power, I stamped a sentiment on Cryogen White to go inside the pocket and positioned the pocket onto Indigo Blue Skinny Classic Columns that had been embossed with clear embossing powder. Finally, I used a few pieces of lace to hold the pocket in place and a added dots of stickles.
