Feeling Blue

Welcome

I am trying to replenish my sympathy cards...always good to have a few on hand.

This one was a very simple design, made on my Gel Plate using Distress Oxide inks and a stamp.

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

• I began with a piece of white cardstock, my Gel Plate, brayer and 2 Distress Oxide inks....Blueprint sketch and Salvaged Patina.
• I pressed the Blueprint Sketch ink pad directly onto my Gel plate on the left and the Salvaged Patina on the right.  Using my brayer, I blended the colours together. 
• I stamped the Tall Wheat directly onto my Gel Plate to remove some of the ink and then rubbed my piece of cardstock over the plate to lift the print. I got a cool looking shadow effect from stamping onto the plate.
• When the print was dry, I inked up the  stamp again with some black Versafine Clair ink and stamped over the ink lifted area of my print.
• I splattered with my black and white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
• I stamped the sentiment from PTI onto a piece of scrap white cardstock in my Misti.
• I glued the printed panel onto a heavy white card base, then pop dot mounted the sentiment along the bottom.

Thanks a lot for coming by and taking a look.
