Simple Sympathy

I have the other two cards I made for my Mum to show you today...a couple of simple  sympathy cards using a new sentiment stamp (by Anita's) I received for Christmas. On the first one I used the watercolour technique with my 'Agapanthus Clusters' stamp (by Stampendous) and some Distress Inks ('Faded Jeans' & 'Forest Moss'). I blended a little 'Bundled Sage' and 'Stormy Sky' over the top at the base of the card before stamping the sentiment.

On the second card, I used butterfly stamps from the 'Social Butterfly' set by Penny Black and more Distress Inks ('Shaded Lilac' and 'Dusty Concord'), stamping on to linen textured card. This time I masked off the flower image from the sentiment stamp and distressed the edges a little.

Challenges for these cards:

• Creative Knockouts - Anything Goes
• Less is More - Week 79 'Blue & Green' (First Card) & Week 16 'Butterflies' & Week 18 'Monochrome' (Second Card)
• Kaboodles Doodles - Anything Goes
• Stamping Sensations - Free & Easy
