CCEE Sympathy Creations

This week  is the 20th anniversary of Vicky's mom's passing.  In her honor she asked the CCEEers to make sympathy cards this week.

I went a bit abstrace tis week, using a 'branchy' stencil on tan cardstock.  I sponged with a deeper brown ink so the 'brances' would show in different degrees.  I did this as I really wanted to make a masculine sympathy card.  After doing the sponging, I overstamped the whole panel with a linen background stamp, but I don't think that really shows here in the pic.  (At least MY sick peepers don't see it in the picture.)

The sentiment is from a Hero Arts sentiment set.

Thanks for looking, and be sure to visit the CCEE Blog to see the wonderful sympathy cards created by the rest of the team.

A great technique to try on a sympathy card. Perfect masculine card.

I bet the linen looks great in real life. The card already looks pretty great to me, I really like that abstract look, and the bare branches express a sense of loss perfectly.
