Needed a couple of sympathy cards, and found I didn't have any left.  Made several very similar cards, the only difference being the colors.

I cut out the shape with a die, then used distress ink to add some color to the die cut.  Stamped with a tree stamp, then attached to a coordinating background mat, which was then adhered to the white card front.  Besides this blue, I made green and purple. 

Stretch Your Stamps 2 Day 5

Today's lesson was about using outline stamps.  I decided to try the technique from Jennifer Rzasa's video, using Distress Ink and watercoloring with them.

I used Distress Ink to stamp the floral design on watercolor paper, then used a waterbrush to spread the color out.  I matted the watercolor paper on tan cardstock, tied tan organza ribbon around it, then popped it up on the green card base.  I stamped the inside with a sympathy sentiment, but decided not to add anything else to the front.
