With Sympathy FMS312

November 10, 2017

I had a few extra minutes so, I wanted to play along with the lovely ladies at Freshly Made Sketches. I love the sketch this week because I am all about "square" cards.  




A few weeks ago, I was driving through Alabama on the way back from the beach with girlfriends.  All along the way we saw beautiful fields of cotton.  I knew that I had to buy this stamp from Altenew.  It is called Cotton Comfort.  I stamped and then shaded the cotton with Copic Markers and cut is out using the matching dies.  Wink of Stella was added for shine.  I used a white card base, Early Expresso background and Crumb Cake for my top layer.  I stenciled the top portion using Memento Cocoa ink.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set.  A few sequins were added to complete my card.  I think this card will be comforting to the recipient.  



Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today!  I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

A huge THANK YOU to all the Veterans!  SO proud to be an American!

HUGS!

  2. I like how you did the sketch by stenciling the dots. It's a great accent that still keeps all the focus on the cotton! Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
