I needed a sympathy card and did not have any in my stash. I prefer to take my time and plan a pretty card but sometimes that isn’t an option. I made this one quickly with supplies I had on hand.
I pulled out some kraft card stock, the With Sympathy stamp set from Avery Elle, Glossy Accents, Hero Arts Unicorn white pigment ink pad and an old Stampendous jumbo rubber stamp I have had forever. I used the large stamp with the white ink and repeatedly stamped it on kraft card stock to create a simple background. I cut this out with the largest die from a stitched die set. Then using my Misti I aligned the sentiment and stamped it a couple times with Simon Says Stamp Intense black ink to make sure it was dark and crisp. I backed it with some black card stock, attached it to an A2 size kraft card and finished it with some glossy accents. It was really that simple. You will be amazed at how creative you can be when you are spontaneous. Give it a try!

I stamped ink swatches from every ink pad I have using a kit I found at 
I started this blog because i have a passion for card making. I want to share that with others along with techniques and products that I find useful or interesting.
