Happy Wednesday, everyone! Hope your week is going well! Sadly, sympathy cards are a necessity of life, and I needed one this week. I pulled out some Flowerpot DSP, which I don’t think I ever used, and the sketch from Mary Jo’s Technostamper challenge this week:
And here we go, using an oldie but goodie, Lovely as a Tree:
In order to make the tree a little more visible, I inked up my stamp first in Versamark, then in Early Espresso ink, stamped on the DSP and then heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder. I used an aquapainter to quickly fill in the tree’s trunk with EE ink, and sponge daubered the leaves:
My sentiments are from Thoughts & Prayers, and on the inside, I stamped the tree again in Sahara Sand….I really like the soft look it creates:
Thanks for visiting today!

Burlap is perfect somehow on a sympathy card. A lovely card. I really like how you repeated the tree inside, I must remember to do it more often!
A wonderful sympathy card. I love the burlap on it. I like the way you did the tree here.
Look at all those pumpkins......what fun.
Wonderful card LeAnne! We just returned from our trip. I am exhausted!
Great Pumpkins! I thought at first you bought all of them. LOL
Lovely card LeAnne, the tree is so pretty! Great mix of pumpkins, bet Cassidy had a good time picking them out with you!
I so enjoy seeing burlap on cards, so pretty. Love the look of the tree on the dp. Looks great, and perfect for a sympathy card. Thanks so much for playing along with my sketch challenge this week! I always enjoy your samples!
