Peaceful View Sympathy Cards



Peaceful View + Splendid Autumn DSP (with stamped sentiment)

Peaceful View stamp makes such an instant impact!  I fell in love with the very first stamping!  I paired it with the lovely Splendid Autumn DSP and "easy peasy" doesn't get much easier!!  I used two different scenic views and used two different methods of executing the sentiment.  Both turned out great, but I am leaning towards the stamped sentiment.

For both versions, I used Secret Sea ink to stamp the tree and fence.  I also matted both with Secret Sea cardstock.  Yet they look so different!

Gallery Blooms

The original idea was to color the blooms using the Stampin' Blends, but the color was much darker than I had in mind.... so I started over.  I achieved the exact color tone I was looking for by using the Calypso Coral ink pad and blender pen.  I describe this process in the assembly instructions.
