Rarely Used Branch
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: susanbri

 CAS891 = Rarely Used or New Stamp - the branch stamp I used is definitely not new but it's either rarely used or never used.

I tore the edges on some scraps of cs, placed them over my focal panel, and sponged in the remaining open area with three colours of Distress inks. I removed the masks and then stamped so that my branch extends beyond the sponging in a couple of places. The branch and sentiment are stamped in very dark blue ink and the focal panel is bordered with navy cs.

Wonderful colors and design with the torn edges. That is a lovely branch.

The torn‑edge masking creates such a soft, organic window for the branch, and the way the image extends beyond the sponged area gives the whole design a natural, unforced flow. The navy framing adds just the right amount of definition to this peaceful sympathy card.
