I was completely inspired by the photo.(photo credit) I love the clean fresh look... white accented by a good dose of navy.
I confess, navy is not a "go to" color of mine, but it is of my daughter and while working with it, a few other color/navy combinations came to mind... so don't be surprised if I go on a navy kick for a few days.
My project is a sympathy card. I have always found they are best made ahead, since there is often too much emotion to make them when needed.
To ink this stamp(Red Poppies from Rubbernecker -- like the irony?) I inked the stems of this stamp with Tim Holtz Distress Ink: Stormy Sky and the blossom with Faded Jeans. I then took a paint brush inked with Chipped Sapphire and accented some of the details of the stamp. After a quick "huff" I stamped the image on white cardstock. The sentiment "In Loving Memory" was stamped with black.
The rest of the card uses background stamps: Abstract Roses embossed in white & Flourish Shadow stamped with Faded Jeans (and edges sponged with Stormy Sky).
Details:
