Our twentieth colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is "gray granite" from the neutrals collection. I have chosen gray granite, mossy meadow and blushing bride from the colour coach to work with today for my creation.
Today I have tried to make an elegant sympathy card with a paper toile design. I have stamped the focal image in gray granite ink, 3 times and fussy cut the top two layers subtracting parts of the design each time. I stamped the sentiment also in gray granite ink and completed the remaining portion of the sentiment with a triple layered die cut also in gray granite cardstock.
I used the lid of my blushing bride stampin' write marker (and the marker) to create delicate splatters randomly in my background of my whisper white card front and added faux resin dots to echo the random splatters.

Inside card - I had another magnolia left (from stamping on the stamparatus) so I fussy cut it out and popped it up with stampin' dimensionals to create a basic paper toile effect much like the card front. I also added the same blushing bride splatters using the stampin' write markers only concentrated with the focus more on the bottom section of the card

Lovely, Ros! The dimension in the bloom is glorious, and I love the splatters on the card base. Beautiful card, perfect for a sad occasion.

A lovely card Ros. The dimension added with the multiple layers of the beautiful magnolia is beautiful. I used to create paper toile pictures so I appreciate the effort and detail. Love the splatters and layered sentiment as well. xxx

A lovely, soft and elegant sympathy card, Ros. The magnolia image is perfect for the paper tole style of piecing. Love the inside, too.
