I made this sympathy card with some retired SU! cardstock called Soft Sky. It was always one of my favorites. I sponged on 3 different Distress ink colors in a random pattern on white and stamped the Tim Holtz image in black ink on top. After that dried, I covered the entire piece with Versamark ink and heat-embossed it using clear EP. I framed it with black, more Soft Sky and another black panel and added a SU! sentiment that was heat-embossed with white on a black snippet. I used a hexagon punch to fishtail the ends.
I'm sharing this with the Allsorts challenge week #799 - Get Well or With Sympathy or use the A/G option.
Thanks for stopping by and make it a great day whatever you do!
