With Sympathy

Welcome.

I needed a sympathy card, not always an easy one to create.  I usually use muted colours for that type of card, but this time I decided to go brighter and celebrate the life well lived.

I haven't played with this stencil from Altenew for so long, so it was time.

So onto my card details.

I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock and masked the edges as I wanted a crisp white border.  The stencil I used is a 2-part, so I placed the first one down and rubbed some Carved Pumpkin DOX ink over the top.  I removed that stencil and positioned the over lay (it adds the flower petal details) stencil on top and rubbed it with some Fired Brick DOX ink.  These 2 colours looked great together.

I dried the piece then placed it into my Misti to stamp the sentiment.  

I removed the mask and doodled in a framed line.

I mounted the piece onto a contrasting piece of brown cardstock then onto a heavy white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
