Unfortunately, another friend of mine lost her mother recently and I found myself in need of another sympathy card. This time I printed out one of the sentiments from the Sympathy Sentiments set by Michalle Bertuzzi and positioned it under Rich Davis's Willow Tree image.
(click to enlarge)
I used Copic markers and chalk to color the image. It's doesn't come through in the photo, but the layer behind the coral color surrounding the image panel is gold. It looks more like cork in the photo!
Today is a new challenge on the Squigglefly blog, and Kim has challenged everyone to make a tent topper card. You can find out how to make one as well as see lots of fun samples by the design team by visiting the blog - and why don't you play along? I have one I'll share with you tomorrow!
Enjoy your Monday, and thanks for looking!
