Thoughts Framed

Sunday's Featured Stamper on SCS was whoistracy.  Splitcoast was having some issues Sunday and I couldn't even bring up many of the cards in her gallery.  This one was one that I saw and I woke up Monday morning thinking about it.  I love the cutout frame and the way she did the ribbon.


If you've taken a look at her card, you can see how far off I am from her beauty.

I wanted to do something a bit different than the leaves, maybe butterflies, but then I got sidetracked by the Technique Challenge, also on SCS, to use a silhouette stamp.

Then I couldn't find a ribbon that worked.  Tracy's ribbon was so light and airy.  All I have in black is heavy and not at all right.  So I used the Modern Label punch and folded it over the frame instead of ribbon.

So there is really not a lot of similarity between this card and Tracy's.  But I did use the frame idea!

Maybe I'll try it again using butterflies.

At least I have another Sympathy card for my stash.

Bonnie
