Again, it's past my bedtime, but if I didn't make this tonight, it would be days before I could do it. As much as I hate needing them, I seem to be making too much use of sympathy cards lately and was glad to see this challenge.
This was for this weekÂ’s limited supply challenge-Making a sympathy card with no dp, one bg stamp, flowers for main image, any cardstock or ink, limit embellishments.
I love the Art of Life stamps and enjoyed using the flower stamp. I inked the purple on the flowers and then used both ink and marker on the stems. I sponged the vanilla with a little So Saffron. It's not as prominent IRL as it is on the card. I think the light exaggerated the yellow tones. I distressed the edge of the image with moss and plum. Top and back layers are raised up a little on pop dots.
Thanks for looking!
