One more for the Mixability Challenge. I had my bg stamps still inky so I stamped my tree trunks on Baked Brown Sugar-they are there just really faint! I had paint dauber on my French Script so I spritzed with Stamp Cleaner and stamped that over the trunks-also faint.I inked up my leaves in Soft Suede and stamped without reinking on the left corner. I stamped the same leaves on the sentiment punched piece. I used the dauber to add Linen around the eges and also a bit of gold. I sponged Suede around the sentiment piece and also added gold (Did you know you could use tape to pull off excess gold-ask me how I know!). I wanted some true brown bag on there so I diecut a bag piece in the flourish and used liquid glue to place it. I added twine with a bow.
DH will be doing the funeral Saturday for one of our church member's mom who passed away this week. Always sad, but in this case somewhat of a blessing as she was in the early stages of dementia when she suddenly had a stroke.

This is soft and beautiful, Gail.

Gail, this is so pretty - the layered stamping works beautifully! Wonderful sympathy card!
