Colours inspired by LiaStampz 23:
This is my first venture this week into the playground for Pixie's crafty snippets 35, using square offcuts of some DCWV Mariposa paper that I used the other day - this has a light green background with some lightly printed text and leaves etc. I stamped four My Mind's Eye wild asparagus stamps inked with memento rich cocoa, dusted the edges with spiced marmalade distress ink using one of my inkalycious blending brushes and then edged with the memento cocoa bean.
The sentiment is a textured rub on by Creata impressions.
I don't know why, but it was very difficult to get a photo of this card - the brown card blank is very dark IRL and the spiced marmalade looks more orange, but this is the rest I could do:
Crafts and me 98: autumn colours
My craft spot 68: hope is rising - sympathy and encouragement
Pink elephant 163: sympathy/thinking of you
The sisterhood of crafters: sympathy
Fab n funky 135: use leaves somewhere
Catered crop: no stress to distress
Twisted Tuesday 21: cooling off (autumnal feel to the air) + inked edges
Tanda teaser 200: CAS
Let's craft and create 52: stamp it
Totally stampalicious: anything goes
QKR 2: anything goes
Waste not Wednesdays 28 - using up snippets

I think that sympathy cards can be a bit tricky when it comes to chose an appropriate design and images. This card is so right for such an occasion. It's a bautiful card.
