Gosh, it was nice to finally have a little time in my stamping room! I've been out of town the last three weekends and have been busy (or taking a nap!) when I've been home. I needed a sympathy card, though, and took advantage of Wyatt's nap time yesterday. Even though it's a very simple card, I still couldn't get it finished yesterday since he woke up early. Today I don't have him, though, so I got a chance to finish the card. Maybe this weekend I'll have some more creative time!
For this very simple card, I used a tree stamp from My Favorite Things. I inked it up with green ink, then wiped the green off of the trunk and added brown with a marker. After stamping, I used a lighter green marker to color the leaves of the tree. I inked up the sympathy stamp (from Papertrey Ink) with the same brown marker that I used on the trunk. I found a brown piece of cardstock that matched the brown marker very well and I matted the image panel with it.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!
It's a lovely, calming tree on the card. Great to use for a sympathy card!
ReplyDeleteThis is perfection for a sympathy card. Love that big sentiment. Your browns certainly are a match. Hope you get some more stamping time soon. I've barely been home since last Friday and would love to slow down the running.
ReplyDeleteI really like the addition of the leaves...did you use a marker and draw them in or is that a stamp?
