Sheltering Tree of sympathy

A bit of a somber card today.

We all need these cards unfortunately!

I pulled out my lovely stamp set called

Sheltering Tree

and personalised it using

Make a Difference stamp set

which is full of letters in lovely script letters in capitals and lower case

and a set of numbers!

I also stamped the little flowers in the corners from this set.

I used black card, teamed up with powder pink card.

Ink pads used are

basic black, lovely lipstick, lemon lime twist, daffodil delight

and early expresso

For best stamping results I recommend using the

Stamparatus 

How I made my card:

I started matting my base card with black card and then powder pink

I cut a panel in black for centre and cut my whisper white card to fit before stamping.

I started with the tree in early expresso.

I then inked up the leaves with lovely lipstick, double stamping by shifting the card

slightly and going back down with stamp without re inking to give a nice pale pink.

I used my small block and added some tiny leaves in lemon lime twist and daffodil delight.

I stamped the green base round tree and added some grass strands.

The sentiment was then stamped in basic black.

I stamped out her name in black and matted onto the pink and black.

I stamped the corners and coloured with stampin' write markers.

I finished the card with an organza bow wrapped round back of whisper white.
