My first card is a sympathy card I created using the BRAND NEW Encouraging Peonies set. I stamped it first in versamark ink on blue cardstock and embossed it in silver. Next I stamped it on white card stock and added just a bit of color to the petals and leaves with a waterbrush and some distress oxide inks.
Supplies and Tools:
- Encouraging Peonies (Sweet n Sassy Stamps)
- Tag Die
- Baker's Twine
- Versamark Watermark Ink
- Silver Embossing Powder
- Waterbrush
- These colors of Distress Oxide (Ranger):
- Faded Jeans, Peeled Paint
My second card features a preorder set called "Fear Not." This special set is part of a fundraiser for a high school senior Nick Saenz whose battling osteosarcoma.
To make the little houses stand out a bit more against my patterned paper background, I used a black sharpie to trace around the windows and add a few lines around the edges.
