Sympathy Card - Sin City Stamps

Hi Ladies & Gents,
To add dimension and depth to the flowers, I used primarily a white colored pencil to color the petals. Then I used a bit of purple to add contrast and make the flowers pop. It is a simple yet sophisticated sympathy card. I hope you give this technique using white colored pencil a try and stamp on colored card stock rather than white. Don't forget to share your creations on the Sin City Fan Page.

You can find my complete tutorial HERE.

Supplies:

1. Flower Bird Sketches Rubber Stamp Set
2. Art Journaling #2 Rubber Stamp Set
3. watermark ink pad & gold ink pad
4. white embossing powder
5. heat gun
6. colored pencils
7. white card base 6x6"
8. yellow & lavendar cardstock
9. chalk
