Focal Point
I've had a bit of a run on sympathy cards lately so I needed to replenish my stash. I smooshed some Distress Inks on mixed media paper, stamped the flower (Artemis) and sentiment (Clearly Besotted) then added some text in the background, then mounted the panel onto coordinating card.
I'm playing along with Virginia's View challenge, Focal Point,
and a new challenge, The Flower Challenge, where the first theme is Anything Goes.
I'm over at STAMPlorations tonight with a set of ATCs using the new STAMP Club set. Here's a peek, but pop on over for a proper look.

This is so beautiful - I love that background. My smooshing never looks quite so effortlessly smooshed! Gorgeous colours and a simple stamp makes for a perfect card for this occasion. Thank you so much for playing along at The Flower Challenge. Ruth xx

ReplyDeleteLovely card...the watercolor wash behind the image is beautiful and the simplicity of your card works well for a sympathy card.

ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful card, Shirley, Jo x
ReplyDeleteSympathy cards can be hard to do, personally I struggle finding a balance of not making them too cheerful nor too depressive. This is perfectly balanced and lovely.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful; simply beautiful...
