Using a brick wall stencil, I went over it with a rough mixture of
black, copper, and white embossing paste. It came out way to dark and
too shiny so I then sponged white gesso over it to lighten it and dull
it down a bit. I also splattered a bit of the white gesso on it and
then trimmed it with a square die. I popped it up on the card base with
fun foam.
I stamped the sentiment in grey and trimmed it with a narrow strip die
sentiment. I die cut the wreath twice out of scrap cs and once out of
off white shimmer cs, glued them together and added it to the brick
wall.
For my second card today, I needed to make a sympathy card so used Can You Handle the Pressure's "Something Starting with F". I went with a floral embossing folder and a flower for my focal image.
I inked up the stamp with Tombow markers, trimmed the panel with a stitched rectangle die, popped it up on fun foam on a background embossed with a floral folder, and added a drop of yellow Liquid Pearls to the centre of the flower.
