Walking With Me


Good Morning
Sympathy cards can be hard to make, that is why I like to have a few made to have on hand.
It was inspired by this background I made and this lovely Eucalyptus stamp.

So here's what I did to create my card.
  • I began by making the background.  I used my brayer and rolled different shades of Distress Oxide inks over the cardstock.  The colours I used were Rustic Wilderness, Peeled Paint and some Bundled Sage.
  • When I was happy with the inking, I splattered with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
  • Next, I took a piece of white cardstock and using the Hero Arts Infinity Hexagon dies, I cut out a large hex.
  • I placed the hex into my Misti and stamped the Layered Eucalyptus to one side.
  • I stamped the sentiment from Penny Black to the right side.
  • I glued the brayered background onto a piece of white cardstock, then onto an A2 card base.
  • I popped the stamped hexagon over that.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

  4. Such pretty shades of green for the eucalyptus leaves Karen and another great sentiment, and love the brayered greens for the inked background, and with that slight bluish tint which I assume is the Rustic Wilderness it looks wonderful. x
