Today’s clean & simple sympathy card required a bit of prep work. I began by selecting three shades of yellow ink; Mango Melody, So Saffron, Daffodil Delight, plus dark brown, Early Espresso ink.
Clean & simple sympathy card
Next, I used the second smallest, square, Stylish Shapes Die to cut three squares in Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″. Then, I placed it on top of identical cardstock, securing it with removable tape. As I was coloring with Blending Brushes, I was careful to mask the areas I didn’t want my brush to color.
After coloring, I glued this layer to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
The flowers and sentiment are from the Quiet Meadow Stamp Set, stamped in Early Espresso Ink. Other than making the template, my sympathy card could qualify as #simplestamping; just stamps, ink and paper.
I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.
