First of all, if you use Copic pens you may want to enter my little contest. Go HERE to read about it.
I needed a sympathy card for my stepdaughter's significant other this week and after seeing Jaydee's beautiful card, I was inspired to make this one:
I always struggle with the placement of the sentiment on nearly every card I make and this one was no different. Not sure I like where it ended up. The image layer is stamped on sticky back canvas with Versamark and embossed with SU white embossing powder. Then I just swiped Ranger's Broken China and Shabby Shutters Distress Ink across it, followed by rubbing it with a piece of paper towel sprayed VERY lightly with stamp cleaner.
I learned about this technique last summer when I took a class from Jennifer McGuire.
Well, we got our first real snow storm yesterday. We live out in the country, surrounded by corn and soy bean fields so when the wind blows, there's no stopping the drifting. I was out in it in town for a couple hours yesterday and so glad to get home and be warm. I think today will be an inside day.
Thank you for stopping in today. Love your visits.
Blessing from Yesterday: Re-connecting with an old friend from my Church in Washington State via phone last night. It was delightful to catch up!

What a brilliant technique Sue! I love those indoors sort of days when the snow is laying thickly outside. Keep warm!
ReplyDeleteI love this technique and I think your sentiment is placed just right. I have a problem of where to put the sentiment. When I design a card, I don't always take the sentiment into consideration. Stay warm1
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Sue, I think your sentiment placement looks just fine.
ReplyDeleteStay warm and enjoy the snow for inside with a hot cup of cocoa.
It's breath taking, Susie!
ReplyDeletethis is gorgeous. i also struggle with sentiments!
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous technique!!!
ReplyDeleteThat technique makes for one stunning card, looks beautiful and I struggle with the sentiments too but think your placement looks perfect.
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous Sympathy card, Sue. Very cool effect, and I love the colors and images!
