My Candy is here. I'm a new blogger trying for 50 followers.
Here's a sympathy card I made today. I was inspired by several challenges (see below), and I was in the mood for stamping (no digis).
I stamped the flower on a torn dictionary page, using watercolour markers instead of ink, and mounted it on torn black cardstock. For the base of the card, I embossed green cardstock with text on the right-hand side and stamped a floral border in black on the left. I affixed the image to the card with foam tape and added white ribbon and a sentiment that was stamped in black on a white scrap and inked the edges in black. I embellished with green and white die-cut vines, black and green punched butterflies, a white bow, and black gems. Here are the supplies I used:
- Stamps: Flower (The Artful Stamper), floral border (Kelly Panacci), sentiment (Kaisercraft)
- Ink: Versafine Onyx Black
- Watercolour markers: Tombow
- Cardstock: Recollections
- Embossing folder: Cuttlebug Text
- Dies: Memory Box Geneva Vine
- Punches: EK Success
- Ribbon: Offray
- Gems: Dollarama
- Sketch: Annabelle Stamps AC168
- Colour inspiration: Rockwell Designs
