Colour INKspiration Challenge #52 Blog Hop

It is always sad when you need to make a sympathy card. I always find it hard to know what to say in the card so I always hope that the love and time I put into the card somehow conveys how truly sorry I am for the loss suffered. I used our colours for this card in the hope that it was not too sombre and I think I got the ratio of each right.

This was one of those cards that started off in one direction and ended up in a totally different one. The sentiment panel originally had the sentiment stamped in Soft Sea Foam, the die cuts adhered, then embossed with the Subtle embossing folder. It looked at bit .... dull! So I watercoloured over with a light wash of Granny Apple Green. The ink caught in the different textured parts which I quite liked however the sentiment didn't stand out enough. Restamping in Early Espresso and fussy cutting before adhering with dimensionals was an easy fix!

Some Soft Sea Foam foliage coming out from under the sentiment panel with some silver metalic thread and leaf finished off my design.
