Simply with sympathy

I made the previous card using scraps from a 12 x 12 DCWV Mariposa paper that was cut into recently and I still had a fair amount over. I decided to add a bit of interest by cutting the paper into three panels, distressing the edges with spiced marmalade distress ink applied lightly with an inkylicious dusting brush and adding another textured rub on, mounting on to a deep brown card blank.

The photo has made the card look a bit curved because it wasn't lying quite flat enough.


This is for:

  2. Another fab, inspiring card! I have that Mariposa stack too and though the papers are beautiful I don't quite know what to do with them, apart from stroking and admiring them!! This card, and the one you posted before, are just lovely!

    love Mags B x
