Sympathy Card for Two Challenges

I made this sympathy card for two challenges.
First, the Create with Connie and Mary Sketch Challenge#160 here. And second, the PPA#104-CAS-Paper Piercing, here.
I started with Old Olive card stock for a base and added three of the papers from Paisley Petals DSP.
I colored in the stamp from Pocket Silhouettes with my Old Olive and Calypso Coral Stampin' Write Markers. I pierced holes in the Whisper White piece with my Paper Piercing tool. I matted that with Old Olive and popped up the entire panel with Stampin' dimensionals.  I stamped With Sympathy from Teeny Tiny Wishes in Old Olive and punched it out with the Word Window Punch. I layered that onto an Olive piece punched with the Modern Label punch. Finally, some 1/4 inch Old Olive grosgrain finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Pocket Silhouettes and Teeny Tiny Wishes
Papers: Whisper White, Old Olive, Calypso Coral, Paisley Petals DSP
Inks: Old Olive and Calypso Coral Stampin' Write markers
Accessories: Word Window and Modern Label punches, Paper Piercing tool, Stampin' dimensionals, 1/4 inch Old Olive grosgrain
