FS1004 With Sympathy

Photo Details

Poster: die cut diva

Congratulations Kathy on being our Featured Stamper this week! I took a step out of my comfort zone and did some ink smooshing. That's what I liked about Kathy's card. I did it three times until I got one that was ok. I like hers better! But it was fun to try something I don't do very often! Here is Kathy's card: Cattail Sympathy by kmberger at Splitcoaststampers

Thanks for taking a closer look! For more details and to see the inside of this card, check out my blog!

I think your ink smooshing looks perfectly fine. I'm glad you took a step out of your comfort (good for you) zone and made this pretty card. I should get out of my comfort zone once in a while too.

Both cards are beautiful, and the technique works great with silhouettes

This is just stunning, Terri! I LOVE the smooshed BG you created for the cattails silhouette! Wild honey has become one of my favorite colors! Well done!

Your background is great - we are always too hard on ourselves. This is a lovely CASE of Kathy's card.

The soft blend of ink on your background forms a gentle setting for the cattail silhouette, and the balance of color with the crisp black elements creates a serene and heartfelt sympathy design.
