Last month in the midst of creating Christmas cards I had to have a change of pace and make a sympathy card as my friends Dad had passed away.
I used a stamp I have previously used a few times for sympathy cards – I think the loose sketchy blooms work well for a simple card.
This time I decided to stamp in some brushos I sprinkled onto my glass mat, spritzed with water and then stamped – this gave the image a lovely watercolour effect in the Prussian blue. I then picked up the watercolour from the mat with my brush and added some more colouring into the image.
Once the image was dry I mat it onto navy cardstock and then onto the white card blank.
I chose two sentiments from the spellbinders press plate set which has coordinated dies and used the gold foil to glimmer them onto a dark blue cardstock.
I then added the blue enamel dots as finishing touches.
A simple but I think effective sympathy card. Always a shame to need one but good to have a good go to image when you do need one.
Happy crafting!
