Reflections.....

Last night I was inspired to stamp a card, for a friend and patient that I found out last week had terminal cancer. I wasn't able to stamp a card for him before, because I think I was still in shock...but, last night, I finally was able to gather my thoughts and think of what to stamp for him.


I got this set, a little while ago, and originally I was thinking it was a good set for Harry Potter and for Twilight..(heh heh), but, I think it is a good set for reflection, and thought.

I stamped the tree and deer in Basic Black, and then brayered Certainly Celery and Soft Sueded over the white cardstock. I covered the whole cardstock in the brayered ink. I also added more in to intensify the color by rubbing the Celery ink over the white cardstock.

The image looked nice, but it was still missing something. I then decided to add white gel pen to the tree, deer and grass to highlight. Then, I decided to tear the edges, which really made the image POP! I stamped the grass from the INSPIRED by NATURE stamp set, in chocolate chip on Old Olive cardstock and added a strip of chocolate chip cardstock. It is then layered over Soft Suede.
