Sharing Your Sorrow

I'm sorry I have neglected this blog for so long.  I have been busy working on my Stampin' Up! business and updating that blog regularly but like to post some things on my first blog too.  This is a project made using Stampin' Up! projects.  Try as I might to do something with other than Stampin' Up! products, since I became a demo, I am conditioned now to reach for my SU products.  I hope to change that soon because I do have some lovely Basic Grey paper sitting in a drawer calling my name and I have got to use it soon.  Anyway, this card is a simple card made with the SU Elements of Style Set.  I added a digital sentiment from My Digital Studio digital download Thoughts and Prayers set.  I stamped the flower stamp on Whisper White card stock with Basic Black Craft ink and then embossed it with clear embossing powder.  I colored it with Stampin Write Markers I then made a mask with a scrap of card stock to drawer the border around the image with a So Saffron Marker.  It is a great way to give a look of layering without adding bulk.  adhered the image panel to a base of So Saffron (finished size 5-1/2 x 4-1/4) and added the sentiment punched with a oval punch and a the Modern Label punch.  Of course I had to add a little bling with the pearls. 

Thanks for looking and come back soon when I have something posted that I made using my favorite paper company (shhhh don't tell SU) Basic Grey.
