Hello cardmaking friends! I have been hit by an acute need for many cards that I don't have in my stash. Of those are some sympathy cards.
I decided to color a stamp with water based markers, spritz lightly with water and then stamp onto regular cardstock. I get a watercolor look and I like that you can use either watercolor paper or regular cardstock, whatever you have on-hand. I did frame the flowers with cardstock and added a scored frame on the white piece.
The second thing that made this quick is using embossed colored cardstock for the background instead of fussing with inking or something else. The sentiment was stamped in dark green ink since I thought black would be too bold.
Supplies: Just for Fun Rubber Stamps Flora and Fauna sheet, Sentiment sheet 3, Tombow water based markers, American Crafts Valentine 6x6 paper pad, other cardstock from my stash, Versafine Olympia Green ink pad
