Autumnal sympathy

This is for The house that stamps built what if A2212 sketch:


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:


This is also for:

  1. 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.
