…flowers shall grow and I am in them


Sharing a very simple sympathy card featuring the elegant Demure from Penny Black.


I carefully inked the stamp so that only the three main flowers and their individual stalks were inked.  The flowers were done in Tim Holtz Distress Ink Milled Lavender and the stems in Mowed Lawn.  I then water coloured the flowers and fixed up the stems with the matching Distress Marker.

I did the careful inking so the flowers would fit the three elements of the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.  I added in the sentiment with a stamp from the Good Morning Magnolia set from Stampin’ Up! in some Distress Archival.

Over at The Rainbow Card they’re currently passionate for purple, which worked well as this is going to a friend who loves purple.  Keeping this CAS, I’ve not used any patterned paper, so I’m also linking my card up at Dragonfly Dreams.
