Graceful Garden Sympathy

Hello, crafty friends.  Today's share is a sympathy card I made for a sweet lady I have gotten to know through my  Stampin' UP! business who recently lost her husband.  There is nothing better than to give someone you care about a hand made card.


I was experimenting with my Stampin' Blend markers (again) and found that I could color the roses with the Stampin' Blends even though the images were not stamped with Memento Black ink. It worked with the Calypso Coral and Pool party inks, but did not work as well with the Old Olive ink.  NOTE: Stampin' Blends are not intended to be used with "regular" ink colors.  Stampin' UP! recommends that these markers be used with Memento Black ink.

However, I am not one to listen to rules when crafting. :)  I colored very lightly and did not try to blend too much.  Warning: do not try this at home....if you do and it does not work- I can not be held liable for ruined craft work. Craft at your own risk!  tee-hee.
