Comfort and Peace

 

Hello and Welcome

Meet today's card.

Another sympathy card made for a friend who has requested to have a few on hand.

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I began with a piece of white cardstock.  Using some Wilted Violet and some Dusty Concord, I rolled my brayer directly onto the ink pad and rolled the colours onto my white cardstock until I was happy with the coverage.  
• Using the Simple Mosaic stencil, I added some detail using the same inks mentioned above.  The subtle stenciling adds a lot of interest and depth.
• Next, I placed the inked panel into my Misti and stamped the thistles and sentiment.
• I splattered using my black and white Posca pens.
• I rubbed my Versamark ink pad along the edges of the card front, then white heat embossed, again, just to add more interest.
• I foam taped it onto a piece of purple cardstock, then onto a white card base.

Here is the stencil I used:
