Thinking of You

Hello again.  How about a nice simple card today....you will notice there is no colouring!  This is actually a sympathy card, something I don't make too often, but I am pleased with the result.  I think the pink is very uplifting and goes well with the black and silver.  I've had it made for a while now, and thankfully I haven't had to use it!


Just a simple stamp (from Inkadinkado), on which I used silver paint on black cardstock.   I've used a rounded corner punch on both the image and the silver metallic backing, and a MS border punch for the pink DP.  A black rub-on provided some additional interest, while the pink flower edging provides a bit of a soft touch.  Nice and easy with a bit of elegance.

    I love the silver and black together with the stamp, it looks like the bird is made of fabric! Great effort, thanks for playing along with our Punches Challenge at Card Makin' Mamas!
