I am sorry to say that our Praise team leader at church has lost both his Grandparents a week apart, I had not gotten around to making him a sympathy card from the passing of his grandpa when we found out that his Grandmother on the other side of the family didn't look like she would make it much longer either, so I waited to find out if she would pull through before sending but she has passed too.
I just added some inks to my mat, spritzed some water and then dipped my paper into the mixture, I dry between each time to get this effect on the background.
- Impression Obsession - Trees with birds stamp set, embossed w/black powder
- Distress inks for background - Tumbled Glass and Faded Jeans
- The Greetery - Thinking of you sentiment stamp
We have had sun once again today so even though the temperature isn't above freezing there has been a little dripping of the icicles :)
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by!

You are so sweet to send cards out for the church. I love silhouette stamps, and this one is perfect for a sympathy card.
