I've no sympathy cards in my stash, and I'd loved Tracey's beautiful card over at the Muse challenge #158 so I thought I'd have a go.For my first card I had a play with my new heat tool, the last one went to the craft room in the sky a while ago. I don't think this image is quite striking enough to carry off this look, but the grey colouring in the background helps a bit. I also think it would have been better with the sentiment stamped in grey.
So I had another go, and this time stamped my image in black ink. I coloured my flowers with watercolour pencils, and tried to copy Tracey's two-toned flowers. I like the effect, but still think this card is a bit boring. I tried to jazz it up a bit by adding Spectrum Noir sparkle to the flowers and clear gloss to the jar.Ah well, it's another 2 cards for my stash ;)

ReplyDeleteThey're lovely, Lynne! I really like the gray in the background on the first one. It sets off the image so nicely. I love this image, and I'm always glad to see you've used it on another card.
ReplyDeleteYou have been productive this week Lynne with two more lovely cards, both are very soft and delicate and like you I did like Tracy's inspirational card.
