Some Things Are Difficut To Say

Hello.  Welcome.  I have been thinking about the STAMPlorations sketch and also about sympathy cards.  Then DRS put up cool colours so I decided to combine and came up with this



I cut a mask using Spellbinders Label 31 set then stencilled using STAMPlorations Foiled Again and Watering Can archival onto a panel cut with Simon Says Stamp stitched rectangle die.  I edged the panel with black archival, added a bit extra for shadow, and a bit more, and there goes the CAS look!!  Smudges all over.  Quite like that LOL.  I stamped and black embossed the sentiment from STAMPlorations Bloom Sketches.  The flower is from the same set, stamped, fussy cut and coloured with distress stains.

Great inking and sponging, Gail! I can never get my smudges to look artsy like the smudges on your card! Great take on the sketch and since you're #250 on the ATG challenge, I'm drawing winners and posting tomorrow! Always happy to see your beautiful makes in the STAMPlorations gallery! Hugs :o)

It's the perfect sympathy card.....especially like how you did that die cut piece! And the bloom is really nice:):)

You accomplished it all in one card, Gail, and it's a stunner. I, too, quite like the "smudges" as it adds so much texture for the eye. It's the perfect condolence card! Well done!
