Thinking of You Sympathy Card

Click on image to enlarge.

I always struggle when it comes to making sympathy cards. Yesterday I tried a new design that I am very pleased with.

The base of this card is a blank light blue Recollections (from Michaels) card. It measures 5" by 6.5".

I chose the new digital stamp "Pussywillows" from Mo's Digital Pencil. The "Thinking of you" sentiment comes with the image. I love the simple beauty and elegance of this image. It is perfect for a sympathy card.

I used Canva to merge the sentiment and image. I printed the image on white cardstock with my HP Photo Printer and Instant Ink.

I hand-colored the image with Copic Sketch markers and Winsor & Newton Promarkers/Brush makers. I have a large collection of alcohol markers and like to mix and match them.

I cut/embossed the image with a rectangular die and my die cutting machine. I attached a piece of black cardstock to the back to make it stand out from the background.

I chose a piece of cardstock from the Tim Holtz Wallflower Paper Stash for the background. 

I will enter this card in the following challenges:
Brown Sugar Challenge #291
Colourific Challenge Corner Anything Goes Challenge
Creative Fingers Challenge #168
Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge #281
