 | | This card should have been so easy.... Took me about 6 (or more) tries to actually get the 'prayers' die cut to come out of the die without ripping. Tried all the tricks I could think of - wax paper, double wax paper, thicker cardstock - (even tried being patient). Eventually, putting two pieces of cardstock and the die through my Big Shot at once made it possible to get a good cut that I could coax out of the die. Will probably stick to using the stamp in the future...
I chose this card from our Featured Stamper's gallery:
CAS Sympathy Card Trio #2 by askloeblen at Splitcoaststampers
Used an alcohol ink bg instead of a stamped bg.
Changed the colors of the card.
Used a die cut wildflower instead of a stamped flower.
Even found a package of peel off stickers in my sticker stash for use in the top right corner.
The bg was made with a variety of alcohol inks and mica spray on Yupo paper. Chose the Cool Caribbean base to pull those colours from the bg piece. Finished the sentiment with Wilted Violet ink on white cardstock. Added the TH stem along the left.
