More Cards

These are more cards that I recently made. The one with the bird and the flourish is actually from the stamp camp we went to last week. I had not realized until recently that I had not uploaded the image. The fun technique on this one was a faux watercolor technique. You ink up the stamp like usual using a juuicy pad. Then you lightly mist the stamp part. It took a bit of practice to not have it get too wet. The result is sort of moteled. We used the same technique on the card with the purple flowers in the other entry.

The vase and flower card is for a friend whose mother died from cancer. I actually made two as another friend's father died. I used The Angel Company stamps with a very light ink for a nice touch in the background. The flowers were cut with my cricut using the A Walk in My Garden cartridge. The papers are from Autumn Leaves. It is from a free paper pack that I got at a special Archiver's Scrapbooking event recely. I am not thrilled with how it came out, but it will due. Making sympathy cards was hard for me. The sombre colors are not part of my usual pallette.
