Heartfelt Sympathy

Hello - Playing in the Freshly Made Sketch this week. I kind of waited till the last minute, but I'm very happy with what I ended up with.


The leaf is a stencil from A Colorful Life Designs and I used Fresh Ink (which is a pigment ink) in Limeade and Basil and a finger dauber to create the corners.

Sympathy sentiment is from Honey Bee and is stamped in Versafine Clair ink and then heat embossed in clear. I chose to heat emboss so that I could wipe away the ink left after stenciling.  Added three dew drops to add some interest, but kept it as CAS as I could.

ETA: Entering this into the CAS Stencil Challenge as well.

Thanks for stopping by!

My comment disappeared so not sure if you received it Laurie! Your card is very serene and sooting and your stencilling is very pretty. It would be perfect for the new CAS stencil challenge if you are interested.

Those softly sponged leaves are lovely - and so perfect for a sympathy card. The little dew drops are the perfect accent. Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
