Congrats to Debbie, the Featured Stamper this week on Splitcoast (FS283)! Such a wonderful gallery! I chose her CAS Sympathy to case. I kept the colors and layout and sympathy card but I changed the papers, images and used a punched butterfly instead of a stamped one.
The image are from Our Daily Bread designs. Sadly, I needed a sympathy card and I thought Debbie’s layout and serene colors would be perfect. The images are new from Our Daily Bread designs.
I first white embossed the lily image on the green, but I didn’t really think it looked the way I wanted. So I stamped it in black on another piece of the green, bleached the lilies then added color w/ markers and cut it out. I attached it a little down on the white embossed one so a little of the white would show. I also painted a little bleach on some of the corner elements in the border image. The sentiment was stamped directly on the designer paper and the double layer butterfly was added below. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

With the double impression of the flower it really gives the flower added dimension. Love that idea! Very pretty sympathy card.
So beautiful! I love the touches of black. It makes it look so elegant.
Thank you for the lovely inspiration! 🙂
This is beautiful Julie!! Love the monochromatic color scheme with just a pop of black. Very elegant!

Julie this is so pretty! I love how you layered the image over the white one… with that little bit showing… and the bleaching on the flowers is incredible! Love the framing too… just beautiful!
What a beautiful result you achieved with the bleaching and coloring! Beautiful card Julie!
Beautiful card! Love the greens and love how you used the bleach!
Thanks for showing the stages of your work. The projects are both incredible, and it is helpful to see the changes.
