Good Morning. For so many of us, making sympathy card is hard so I like to have some ready to have on hand. When I saw the challenge at Splitcoast this a.m., I grabbed my stamps and inks and went to work.
I began by sponging Distress inks in Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, Scattered Straw and a bit of Wild Honey onto my white card front. I then took the flower from Unity and stamped it using water to give a bit of a ghosting look. I then went back and inked my flower stamp with some Wild Honey and stamped off before going onto the yellow. By doing that, the image is more faint and faded. I then added some highlights using a white Signo pen. The sentiment is from Stampin Up and is stamped with black Memento. I think simple is best when making a sympathy card.
I am adding my card to this challenge:
CAS-ology - #90 WET (water stamping)
Have a good week. Thanks so much for dropping by.
Supplies: stamps- Unity, SU/ Distress ink/ Memento bl/ Signo white pen
