This sketch kind of scared me with all its layers and somehow I felt I needed to use patterned paper on the card. If you follow my blog you know I have a fear of patterned paper, it makes me break out in a cold sweat.
I remembered I had won a Basic Grey paper pack a long time ago so I decided my card was going to be made from papers in this pack. Instead of starting my card with a stamp I started with papers and then picked my stamp last.
Am I happy with the result? Sort of. I like everything except the middle band. If I had to do it over I would pick another pattern for that section.
Thanks for stopping by!
As a side note. The tree stamp is from Sunday International and is called Lone Tree Silhouette. I can't seem to find it online.

I think it's gorgeous, Sue! The papers you used are beautiful and they are so perfect for a sympathy card! Way to go creating out of your comfort zone and using some patterned paper! :)
ReplyDeleteI love it, Sue, and I think that middle band is what makes your card so interesting. I think you should try this more often! So glad you shared this with us at the Simon Says Stamp challenge this week!
