Single Iris Sympathy

This was my first time inking this NBUS stamp.

I love the easy watercolor look that I got
by inking the stamp with markers.


I couldn't decide whether I liked it better on the white base or the Eggplant base.

So I did it both ways.


CAS on Sunday
is looking for a Sympathy card this week.

Enjoy!

    Bonnie, both cards are stunning, but if I have to pin down it will be the white one, its pure delight! Thank you for joining us at ATSM!

    I thought this was water coloured! Lovely serene look and beautifully CAS and I have looked a few times and I am not sure what base either. I think the eggplant gives a more dramatic look but the white a soft feel, so I guess it would depend who it was going to?? Thanks for joining us at ATSM

    This is quite possibly the most perfect sympathy card ever. I am, of course, totally going to steal the idea. I love the white one for its simplicity, but the Eggplant base is really beautiful too.

    Hi Bonnie, this is such a wonderful CAS card - so elegant and perfect for a sympathy card (although I hope you won't need it any time soon....) Thanks so much for playing with us at ATSM. I hope to see you there next time, too! Hugs, Cornelia DT

    Both are gorgeous - and really do look like it's been watercolored! I love it on the eggplant as it gives it a very elegant look. Of course the white is beautiful too.....so either one's a winner!

    Gorgeous cards Bonnie. It's amazing how using the same stamp, colors and sentiment look so different by changing up the framing. Both are lovely, but you know me ... I LOVE my white space :) I think the focus is more on the iris with the all white background. Loll xx

    Irises are one of my favourite flowers so I love your card - a perfect restrained sympathy card (which is what I think sympathy cards should be). I like it on both cardbases equally well!

    I can't decide either! Both are lovely. This is a wonderful stamp for a sympathy card, just as you've done it. Yummy watercolors. TFS & Hugs.
