Welcome
Sympathy cards are not always easy ones to make, so I like to have some on hand.
This newly released set of stencils from A Colorful Life Designs is great for creating simple ink blended card front background. There are many different sizes in these sets too.
So, meet the newly released:
Here's what I did to create my card.
- I placed one of the Marvelous Masks Arches stencils over a piece of white cardstock.
- Beginning at the top of the arch, I inked with some Shaded Lilac, Peacock Feathers and some Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide inks.
- I lifted the stencil off and added a mask along the bottom edge so my stamping would be contained along the bottom of the inking.
- I placed it into my Misti to stamp out the trees and the sentiment.
- I glued the panel onto a piece of navy cardstock, then onto a white A2 sized card base.
- I added 3 silver gems under the sentiment to finish the card off.
Here are the stencils I used:
