Fun challenge today! I die cut an oval out of a card sized piece of copy paper where I wanted it to be on the actual card. After placing this reverse mask on top of the actual piece of card, I sponged pink ink inside and a little gray around the edges.
Leaving the mask in place, I stamped the different flower images, then using a tiny acrylic paintbrush, I painted bleach on the flowers to remove most of the color. I also went over it a bit with a white Prismacolor pencil to smooth out the white areas. The greeting was stamped (using a stamp positioner to move the lines closer together) in the lower right and a fussy cut little bird was added on the left along w/ a few clear sequins.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups, the Copics & inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Such a beautiful sympathy card, sure to bring comfort. I love the little chickadee added to your card beneath the sponged and stamoed florals in the oval.
