Just finishing up 4 cards for SIL -- she wanted a set of the sympathy card using the My Daily Bread Amazing Grace chalkboard stamp. I spent last Saturday with a patient DH searching for the same paper, and/or stamps that would produce the same effect.
I did not have any of the correctly colored flowers, so I added some Stamping Up Aqua ink refiller drops (7) to a mini-mister bottle and sprayed some white and beige paper flowers. They seemed too blue, so I added Tsukineko Sheer Shimmer Spritz in gold. Had to wait for those to dry. I also tried buttons, but that didn't look right.
I just need some leaf sprays in the bottom left corner of the last 2 cards, and I finished them while I was taking pix this morning! After downloading, I see that every desk picture I took is way too blurry, but no time to re-take, gotta scoot to work!
Have a lovely day!

They came out great! Sounds like we both got very lucky in the hubby dept. as mine gets dragged around on some interesting hunts too!Color matching can be a drag sometimes, but I know she will love them. Winnie#82

ot so blurry that we can't tell, so pics are just fone! I too love that chalkboard effect and the stamp. You did work hard to repeat the cards, good for you. i agree about buttons, somehow on a sympathy card they would seem wrong...frivoulous, which is ridiculous when you consider it's just a button! still, you've nailed it, the flowers are perfect...
ReplyDeleteYou did a lovely job on these...I think that stamp is marvelous too!
