Sympathy Inspired by Nature



Somehow I get the message that I'm not supposed to be blogging!! This morning I no more than got on line and started to show you this card, when the computer quit. Something happened all over the area I guess, but fortunately things got repaired and I'm OK again. Anyway, another sympathy card is needed for a long time neighbor and I decided to try the technique that we learned at the Splitcoast gathering in Syracuse. Erin showed us this great technique using the brayer on top of black Stazon. Of course she was using one of my new favorite sets called Inspired by Nature and then brayered over the top of it with Pirouette Pink, then masked the moon, and brayered again with Almost Amethyst, Bashful Blue and finally with Perfect Plum. The words are from Always in my Thoughts and I used the large oval punch on top of the new large punch. It was a bit needy of something else, so I added a tiny white taffeta ribbon. I'm trying many color combinations but find her original with So Saffron first and ending with Really Rust is the most striking. I thought this was better for a sympathy card. What do you think?
