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:

LeAnne Pugliese WeeInklings Lovely as a Tree Sympathy Stampin Up

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!

We made a trip last week to the local farm for some pumpkins:

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!

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!
