Here's the inside. I love this sentiment.
I had half a sheet of white card stock sitting on my desk, so I decided to get out the Distress Inks again and do some blending. After that I spritzed water on top of the colors to blend them a bit more. I die cut the main panel and stamped the sentiment and leaves. I dug into my box-o-bling and found some borders to adhere under it, along with some rhinestones from my stash. Went digging in another drawer and found my twine and tied that around the main panel. The inside is more of the paper I made finished with another sentiment.
This card is based on Retro Sketches #100:
Thanks for hanging out. I hope you get the chance to play along with this challenge. It's their 100th sketch and there's goodies to be had! Stay crafty my friends!

Wow, Chris, the watercolour panels are gorgeous! Beautiful sympathy card. Just sorry you had to make one...
ReplyDeleteThat is an incredible panel. I love your spritzing technique!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous. I love the colours you chose - soothing, but not washed out (if you know what I mean...lol) - and it definitely sucks that you had to make one.
ReplyDeleteYes, unfortunately we all need these. I just found out yesterday that I'm in need of some of these, myself. This is beautiful! Great classic design with the embossing and die cuts. I really love that fabulous marbled paper you made with the spritzed distress ink.
ReplyDeleteI really like the adhesive borders you've used. I need to remember I own some, too. I also love the distressed background. I need to remember to do that, too.
ReplyDeleteIs it possible I know too much and can't remember all of it?
Also, that sentiment (I have it too, of course) looks like "cheapest" sympathy at first glance. My brain works in mysterious ways.
Too much stuff to remember? Do what I do. Just get out your pensieve! LOL! (Harry Potter humor. I love it!)
DeleteYou made a very nice card for such a sad occasion. I really like that you included decorating the inside of the card. Very nice, all away around.
