Shopping our Stash challenge wants us to make the sentiment the focal point. I have a sympathy sentiment that I just love so made a couple of cards using it.
I got out my blue acohol markers and did random horizontal scribbles with them, then stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on top. For the first card, my vertical lines weren't as wide so I trimmed it smaller, bordered with blue, and added a strip of dry embossing down the right hand side. For the second one, I trimmed it with my A2 layering dies and added a gold border and a few gold and white splatters with acrylic paints.
Supplies:
Stamps - Kay Foley sentiment
Ink - Versafine Clair Nocturne
Paper - white, blue, and gold cs
Size - A2
Accessories - blue alcohol markers, clear embossing powder, Spellbinders border embossing folder, gold and white acrylic paints
What a wonderful sentiment on two perfect sympathy cards!
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely sentiment and the background marker scribbles in tones of blue highlight them both perfectly Susan, and love the added border embossing on the first and the bit of spattering on the second..wonderful sympathy cards. x
