Sympathy in Blues

Photo Details

Poster: beesmom

Love this Penny black stamp - so versatile! With the stamp in the MISTI, I colored the stamp itself with markers and ink cubes multiple times with different shades of blue. Sometimes I spritzed the stamp with water, sometimes not. Stamped sentiment in navy, splattered with ink and done.

Linking also to:
Mod Squad Challenge: monochromatic
Penny Black Sat. challenge: AG
CAS mix-up Challenge: markers on stamps (I used markers and small ink cubes, hope that's ok)
Less is More: OLC florals

Absolutely stunning. Love how you used the technique of inking the stamp with several shades of the wonderful blues. Thank you for adding this beautiful card to the gallery at The CAS Mix Up Challenge x.

Beautiful shades of blue (my favourite colour so my eye was drawn to your card right away!). It is a wonderful sympathy card with just the simplicity of the flowers and colour scheme, and a very basic sentiment.
