ODBDSLC324 Sympathy
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: Cook22

 Unfortunately, I am going to need this soon, for the cousin of the friend I have been sending cards to for the last year :-(. So, I used the current ODBD sketch, and also for today's WT527 Watercolour Backgrounds brought to us by Cathy, I used embossing resist with watercolour for the base, and also tucked in a piece of watercolour bokeh background - tutorial link in Cathy's challenge write-up.

Card base sponged with Antique Linen.
Next layer - chalkboard lattice embossed with white ep and I used two shades of green paint.
Image stamped on watercolour paper, coloured with watercolour, trimmed, edges sponged with Antique Linen, matted on black. The lattice layer, embossd vellum and bokeh layers are all edged with a gold pen.
I spent a long time making a circle sentiment to fit with the sketch but visually it just seemed to weigh the card down. In fact, I started all over again and made another one and it still didn't look right - so I stamped a small sympathy sentiment on the image panel and subbed some lace and a seam binding bow for that element of the sketch.

What a pretty Sympathy card! The background is just gorgeous, and I love the Lillies. It's not fun to have to make a Sympathy card - so sorry!

Oh Sabrina, this is so pretty. Your background is wonderful, and I love your image. The addition of the lace and your ribbon is brilliant - a truly beautiful card. tfs

Beautifully layered and paired so well with your elements. I'm sorry you need this card, too. It's not easy making cards for this unfortunate time in life.

Simply elegant and beautiful!!! I love the watercolored background and the partial die cutting too. In addition to that your coloring is lovely! Thanks so much for joining us this week at Our Daily Bread Designs. Hope to see more of your designs soon! Hugs, Gracie.

It's a beautiful card, Sabrina. The soft colors are very soothing, and I like the details with the vellum, lace and ribbon, as well as the lovely lattice background.
