AAA Card Challenges #270: Sketch Ombre

My heart sister/friend has just received a diagnosis of breast cancer which on its own would be awful, but it comes in the wake of the death of her spouse. Its kind of like being hit on the head with a hammer. She saw the oncologist today so I will know more tomorrow, but as a cancer survivor I know exactly what is going on in her head and I am going to support her as much as I can.

Initially this card was solely for the challenge, but then I realized that with the sentiment I’ve used, it is a perfect one to send to her. The inks used are Distress Oxides in Dusty Concord, Seedless Preserves and Milled Lavender. The card was masked off and then the inks were blended after which I splashed a small amount of water. Both sentiment and flower stamps come from an Altenew set called Inspirational Quotes. The floral sprig didn’t give me a good impression, (should have used the Misti) so I stamped it a second time but didn’t quite get it lined up. I kind of liked the extra line and defined it a bit more using a Posca pen. I also added a few more spots using the pen too. Ultimately, I’m pleased with how it turned out.

Thanks for stopping by, it is appreciated.
