Unfortunately I've had to make a handful of sympathy cards in the last 2 weeks. My creativity goes right out the window when faced with having to make a card to acknowledge a family's grief. The New Horizons DSP and coordinating stamp and die set, On the Horizon made this sad task a bit easier this week.
I'm sharing this one over at the Alphabet Challenge which is on letter 'T' for trees. The pretty tree silhouette stamps was a good match for this scene.
I let the DSP do all the hard work and just added the trees and birds in black ink and then in the foreground the grass is stamped in Old Olive.
I die cut some grass out of another sheet of the DSP as well as the fencing in Basic White. I layered them along the bottom part of the card and added some of the new Pebbles Enamel Shapes. The sentiment is from Many Messages and is stamped in Misty Moonlight. I had a bit of rough twine in my scraps and wound it around the end for a bit of texture.
Thanks for looking! Did you stamp today?
