Psalm 147:3

 

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a couple of sympathy cards I needed to make to send out.  I decided to use a set I had received from a friend when she had to give up stamping.  The set is from Colorado Craft Company and is called Sympathy from their Lovely Legs collection.

I started out by stamping the images/saying in memento tuxedo black onto Copic white card stock and then colored using Castle Arts watercolor pencils and a blender pencil.  Once my coloring was finished, I stippled Tim Holtz stormy sky distress ink around the colored images using my paper pouncer before layering and adding brads.  Taking the layered images, I distressed the edges using my paper distresser before adhering to a black card using pop up glue dots.  The final touches were a little doodling in the corners using a black gel pen and then adding waterfall ice stickles to the water/raindrops.  I have a hard time making sympathy cards so I'm really happy these turned out better than I had envisioned.
