Welcome
Sympathy cards are never easy to make, so that's why I like to always have some on hand.
I like to keep mine very simple and not overdone.
So, here's what I did to create my card.
- I cut a piece of white cardstock and placed it into my Misti to stamp the tree line.
- I clear heat embossed the trees as I wanted to add some water and inking and didn't want the ink to smear.
- Next, I rubbed some Lucky Clover, Rustic Wilderness and some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink onto a piece of acetate.
- Using a damp sponge, I dabbed into the ink and then dabbed over and around the embossed trees. It gave a lovely mottled look to the background.
- When I was happy with the sponging, I splattered with a black Posca pen to add interest.
- While that all dried, I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of white cardstock and rubbed some Tumbled Glass DOX ink along the edges.
- I glued the tree panel onto a piece of blue cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base.
- I added the sentiment with some foam tape to pop it up.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
