I have a couple of friends that are going through a rough patch right now since their views differ from their husband/dad, and neighbors, on the results of the U.S. election. So I decided to make a little pick-me-up from a never before used, and retired, Stampin Up set I received from one of them. I started out by stamping the image in memento tuxedo black ink onto scrap white card stock then colored using prismacolor and copic markers before stippling Tim Holtz tumbled glass and broken china distress inks around it. Once they were layered, I added brads then adhered them to a card base made from scraps. I then stamped the saying also in memento black before adding some bling to the images. As an afterthought, I then pulled out a black artist pen and added some faux sewing to both cards.
