Sympathy Card with Alcohol Inks and Joy Clair Stamps by Lorrie
Hey y'all! It's Lorrie here from Forty11 Designs. Today I am so happy to be featuring Joy Clair stamps on my project. This stamp set that I used, called "Paisley Bouquet" is such an amazing all-occasion set, and I saw so many possibilities with it.
One of the cards that we never want to make, but sometimes need is a sympathy card. This stamp set has a sympathy sentiment, and the images are so versatile that I knew this would be perfect for a sympathy card.
Rinea Foiled Paper is such a great surface to work on. It takes alcohol inks beautifully, so I decided to stamp my image onto Silver Glossy Rinea Foiled Paper and then color in using alcohol ink markers. I also stamped a repeating background pattern using the same stamp set.
Supplies needed:
- Silver/Gold Glossy Solid Foiled Paper
- Jade Starstruck Foiled Paper
- Mocha/Gold Glossy Foiled Paper
- Joy Clair "Paisley Bouquet" stamp set
