Another card for the evening, and for my annual tracker, my 199th card of the year! Almost half way to this years goal.
This card is for another challenge at MFP, for the Speedy Fox and Friends Challenge, to make a serene and comforting Sympathy card. I thought this Marks Finest image was perfect.
The image is stamped in black, with a bit of brown added to the stems using a Copic marker, then using E41 I added a bit of colour to each of the fluff bits at their bits where they meet the stem, then outlined them all in light BG000. I used a sponge to add some light vintage sepia ink all along the edges of all the white layers, and paired it with my most sedate green - some long expired SU Sage (hubby said if he got a Sympathy card he'd want it to have green).
Still having trouble with photos, can't figure out settings on new camera, and got to fuss with the photoshop people so I can transfer the license from one computer to another, so please, keep being forgiving with these not so great pics for a while longer!

ReplyDeleteWhat a Beautiful card! Beautiful design and I love the image you chose for your sympathy card! I always think it's interesting to hear the opinions of the DH. Mine comes up with some doozies sometimes but yours gave good advice, the green is lovely!!

ReplyDeleteSuch an elegant sympathy card. Interesting that he chose green. I want to reach for blue with sympathy. Love the embossing and the die cut for the frame.
